"that government is best which governs least"
What i think Thoreau meant by this quote is the government that pokes there nose in the least is the best suited to govern. In a way i agree with this quote but then i disagree at the same time. I agree because the government today tries to control most aspects of life. They try to control our money that we make into making us pay taxes on any amount of money we make. Its not what should happen, the money we make should be all our money not be taken away. I disagree with this statement because if the government didn't have control over some things our nation would run crazy. It would be like the old "wild west" in a sense because without the rules of the government people would go doing things that make no type of sense. If the government even let go just a little bit our nation would be worse than what it is today.
