Then you have no problem changing your statement to, "I think (some) people who work for the federal government (may) have a conflict of interest when it comes to determining the appropriate limits of the power of the federal government"?
Not based on any arguments you've submitted. "Appropriate limits of the power of the federal government" is not the same as "appropriate distribution of federal tax money". I'm not going to change my opinion about one based on arguments about the other.
