My opinion is that social insurance, cloistering and kleptocratic suffocatocracy have gone far too far

Agreed. Collectivist intrusiveness in all its forms has gone too far - and it harms us all. Regrettably, the pendulum is still moving in that direction, and will keep doing so. The government keeps sticking its fingers deeper into the economy, and the public keeps asking for more. Governments use bad economic times as opportunities to expand their power.

suffocatocracy

Googled the word, but it only comes up in 2 previous posts by you - one recent, and one from a while back. Nice term, you should do more to make it more popular and better understood.
