I'm pretty sure that most of the planets evil dictators and oppressive regimes have operated under this premise.....depending on your definition of "poor individual decisions"...right?

It's only creepy if you take some irrational view that the Government is trying to control every aspect of our lives. The simple fact is that the mundane decisions of the mass might not always drive a positive result as there will always be biases.
To be honest I don't think most people are really aware of how their lives are really shaped by others.
