Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
--C.S. Lewis--
Despite all the news stories about how his administration is "facing scandal" before he even takes office, it's got to be a good sign when the corrupt, recently-arrested governor of your state is caught on tape saying "F*** him" about your refusal to offer him a kickback.
