Multiple issues[edit]

This article has multiple issues:

Both given references are merely examples.
Most of the text seem to be essay-like extrapolation, speculation and original research.
Is this term really used to a notably degree? I made several searches with google, and I am not really convinced: Its field of use seems to be very narrow, and somehow it seems to be used mostly as slogans in slogan-heavy books, not in real-life.
The wording is not appropriate. Generally it is essay-like. Also it uses strange jargon ("control others via fiat").
Context and scope are not clear. The first paragraph is rather confusing than explaining.

Merge into Red tape?[edit]

Following up to one of Tomdo08's points, is this any different from red tape? And if so, does the difference warrant having 2 different articles? --Chealer (talk) 02:39, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
