When Spooner said this, the US federal government was not NEARLY as bad as it is today. Trump wishes he had the kind of federal government that existed in Spooner's day, which was small enough that it COULD be funded by tariffs.
But some think it's "the best government ever!" 🥳 🙃
Someone else said, Thoreau I think, "That government is best which governs least," while someone else said "That government is best which governs not at all." 👍
