> Right, so the answer is not to make that bad government bigger, the answer is to replace it with a good government.

Bad government (where by bad I mean serving the interests of the wealthy few over the masses) is bad regardless of it's size.

If you believe in supply-side/trickle-down economics, you might use the opposite definition of "bad", in which case shrinking of government that restrains corporations (protecting the masses) by regulation or paying for seniors not to end up it total destitution (social security /Medicare)

The size of the government is less relevant than what it is doing, and whether you agree with that.






Trickle down economics isn't something you either "believe in" or "don't believe in". It's a disproven theory that does not work.
