Government's role should be only to keep the playing field level, and to work hand in hand with business on issues such as employment. But beyond this, to as great an extent as possible, it should get the hell out of the way.

The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead.

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 would much rather see responsibilities exercised by individuals than have them imposed by the government.

I think the government has a role in protecting the fundamental rights of its citizens.

The government is best which makes itself unnecessary.

And government's only role is to secure our rights for us.

The role of government is to steer us in the right direction, not do all the work for us.

There is a role for government, but no matter how much money the government spends, it will never be able to take the place of parents and strong families.

The government serves the people - not vice-versa.
