Increase the complication of things like tax laws they must comply  
with, among other things, so their time to participate in real  
government is much lower than it should be.

I've seen government sponsored print and early TV/newsreel ads from  
the 50s which talked about how doing your taxes and other busy work  
was participating in government.  A lot of people have become  
convinced that doing that really is work, and thus entitles them to  
largess which they keep voting for instead of national success.

It was more brainwashing and social control than the Nazis or Soviets  
had ever been able to do, and it was right here.

Some of the government spew from England comes right out of post-WWII  
era science fiction.
