"The government that governs least..." (list the real answer) |
|
...leaves the real governing to the most ruthless.
I had another "drive-by" of that hoary so-called "Libertarian" chestnut, so I'm just venting the answer that person couldn't be bothered to listen to. Feel free to add your own.

1. "... can be found in Somalia." |
|
That's a classic failed state.

2. governs least. That's why we have to |
|
ban abortion, ban contraception, pass a federal amendment banning gays from marrying or having civil unions, wire-tap phone calls, keep a database of the phone records of every citizen, get a national ID, build a wall around the border to seal off the nation, shift the tax burden until it is entirely on the middle and working class, and finally give large sums of taxpayer money to corporations in the form of corporate welfare.
You know, good ole small government...
