Yes. I've cleaned toilets, and managed many-many-many Millions of dollars of Equipment and having Lead many people in the Military Service and as a Project & Program Manager in civilian life. Never found any job that I would task someone else with, that I would not do myself if the conditions called for me to do so (and I did do so at times). "I'm too good to do that" is a concept that has crept into the "Civil Service" employees of our nation and it needs to be culled because we now have many in Civil Service who "DO NOTHING" or come close to doing nothing.
No method of procedure has ever been devised by which liberty could be divorced from local self-government. No plan of centralization has ever been adopted which did not result in bureaucracy, tyranny, inflexibility, reaction, and decline. Of all forms of government, those administered by bureaus are about the least satisfactory to an enlightened and progressive people. Being irresponsible they become autocratic, and being autocratic they resist all development. Unless bureaucracy is constantly resisted it breaks down representative government and overwhelms democracy. It is the one element in our institutions that sets up the pretense of having authority over everybody and being responsible to nobody.
