This kind of thing will continue for as long as people continue to believe that government is something that is apart and separate from society and can intervene to "protect" people and "smooth things out" (e.g., the market, financial uncertainty and pain, etc.). These kind of people see government as equivalent to (or in some cases superior to) God. Whether you believe in God or not, that's a scary attitude. The kind of people I'm referring to say, in so many words, "it's O.K. for a group of individual men and women, as long as they call themselves 'government,' to lie, steal and kill because it's for the 'greater good.' After all, if there was no 'government' chaos would break loose." Do they mean that things wouldn't be going as smoothly as they are now?
