When Thoreau said, "that government is best which governs least", what do you think he meant? Do you agree or disagree? Explain.
When Thoreau said this quote i think he means when the government is doing more and more work the economy is bad. But when the government does not have much to do it means there are not many problems in the country. I agree because say if taxes rise, more money is needed to fuel the government and therefore government has to do work to get there taxes. And if people cant pay their taxes, houses go into foreclosure and there is not enough money circulating. But when the people have enough money to pay their taxes the government does not have to do much work and the economy is strong. If the government does not need to do much then the people run the country, instead of the government. This is good because the crime rate will lower and middle class will become larger.
