Personally, I'm more comfortable with judging individual policies versus opening up to the idea that government is inherently good/bad. That's too wide of a filter, and one or the other in such a state is bound to be a negative thing no matter what.

Amen duder.
Corruption exists. Better that corruption be controlled by greedy men than malicious men.
Of course... whether those men in suits are also the latter is debatable. I think money is important to them, but not too often is intentionally harming others unprovoked to gain the power of fear.
