Is the American government becoming more and more like the Orwellian Big Brother that many fear? According to a recent Gallup poll, an increasing percentage of the public believe that the government has accumulated too much power in recent years. While less than a tenth of those surveyed think that the federal government should be given more power, the percent saying the federal government has too much power has increased by over 20% in just over a decade.
