I think that the best that government can do for you and I as individuals is to empower you and I to make decisions that only you and I should make.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The best government is that which teaches us to govern ourselves.
I believe that the decisions which govern all our lives, the laws we must all obey, and the taxes we must all pay should be decided by people we choose and who we can throw out if we want change.
Since no one but you can know what's best for you, government control can't make your life better.
What do you think, what people want from their governments? Simple. A better life for themselves and for their children. Government that is fair, just and responsible.
The best government rests on the people, and not on the few, on persons and not on property, on the free development of public opinion and not on authority.
My concept of government's role in people's lives is that it is limited but legitimate, and essential when people have nowhere else to turn.
I think government has a major role to play in helping us with the pursuit of happiness.
In my position as prime minister, I bear the highest responsibility for decisions.
The whole purpose of maintaining your power in government is to make sure that you stay in government. You stay in government by finding out who is liable to be against you. To do that, you try and put your finger into every single pie that is available to you.
I think serving your government is the greatest thing in the world.
