"The old Gipper" (Republican US president of two terms in the 80s, Ronald Reagan) was celebrated for saying:
“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help.”
This resonated with many people for different reasons. It could be a criticism of low quality government services (such as having a bad time at the DMV), but it could also be about regulations on small business.
