There is too much government today. We've got to remember the government should be by the people, of the people, and for the people.

We have seen a central government taking more and more control over public education, over communications, over transportation, over every detail of our daily lives.

I kinda halfway paid attention to politics during my early years, but the older you get, the more you realize it's very important to pay attention to who gets elected. They can ruin the country.

I just think that the older you get, the more you appreciate the responsibility of politics.

In philanthropy, many of us give a little bit and each year we give more and more to see what actually works and not just throw money out there and see if it's going to work. If the government did the same thing, fabulous.

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government has grown out of too much government.

People are probably going to realize they can live with a lot less government than what they thought they needed.

Government just simply can't do everything for everyone.

But without a caring society, without each citizen voluntarily accepting the weight of responsibility, government is destined to grow even larger, taking more of your money, burrowing deeper into your lives.

Government is at its worst when you have apathy from its citizens.
