Instinct to Tyranny

How many pieces of political opinion or commentary amount to just an expression of this meme:

"Give me control of everything and I'll solve everyone's problem."  

In other words, how many bits of the political blah blah are simple expressions of the instinct to tyranny?

We've all been soaked in statism so long, most folks don't realize when they are advocating that someone take their liberty via legislation, or hoping that someone do so.  Most are not even aware that liberty is in opposition to legislation.

This video is a reasonable example.  The speaker will solve the problem of lost jobs, he's smart enough to fix it, just let him have control.
