He may have had the noblest of intentions but the really of implementing massive federal intervention leads to corruption and inefficiency. I believe the job of the government is to arrest crooks who trample rights in their quest for economic power. In short:

The larger the bureaucracy, the more corruption.

We should allow the people to speak with their money. An economy is so complex that one person or a group of people cannot manage it without a fiat system which in turn hurts the middle class. I am defiantly not alone in this and the fight has been going on ever since the formation of the bourgeois.
I don't necessarily disagree with your opinion about federal bureaucracy. Have you looked into left-libertarian capitalist thought? Decentralized, libertarian social involvement in private enterprise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-libertarianism

A word of warning, though: left-libertarianism is a broad term that encompasses left-rothbardianists, libertarian socialists, anarcho-communists, and mutualists.
