What garbage. The reason 'Why a 'smaller' government is a better government' is that it benefits the owning class.
But just big enough for a strong military and a religious element to pry into people's bedrooms. Ahh, the pinnacles of modern Feudalism.
I don't favor the latter, either.
A government should only be large enough to protect its citizens from internal and external threats (ie crime, terrorism, enemy nations), and to discourage other countries from being threats.
In other words to preserve the class structure and everyone's place in it.
