Why is a shrinking government good? |
Government is a necessary evil. There is always the risk a government could become tyrannical (Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, Venezuela, original Britain/US situation) therefore it is in the best interests of the people to limit the power and size of their government.
The idea of the USA was born from tyranny from Britain and the US forefathers understood that big government is a really bad idea.
If you've ever worked in government, you'll know how hoplessly inefficient it is too. They waste money like you wouldn't believe, and like you never would with your own money. But they do it with everyone elses money. Money they get via coercion. You may agree with some of the things the government does with tax money, but even if you find yourself disagreeing with those in charge, they will still send men with guns eventually to take your 'fair share'. If you resist men with guns, you get shot.
