Why a smaller government is a better government

[nlm]

An interesting start Andrew. For a short paper it does a fairly good job, but, as a  short paper it ignores some of the finer points that are very important; like government subsidies and tax breaks for certain companies but not others. That is a defeat for capitalism as well and represents a "robinhood" type effect used by both the Dems and the GOP (and the GOP has been practicing this tactic quite a bit as of late). Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe used to preach that "less is more", but he also was quite clear that "god is in the details" - even though he was but an architect, he was right about both, and both can be applied to government quite well.
