"The Bigger the Government the Smaller the Citizen." Dennis Prager

Dennis Prager has a great talent for expressing giant truths in very short sentences.
The Bigger the Government the Smaller the Citizen."
The government is best which governs least,"

by John Gaudio,

One of the great thinkers of our time, Dennis Prager, strives for clarity over agreement.  Dennis, and his good friend and producer, Allen Estrin, have created Prager University, a collection of five minute videos on YouTube.  Their motto, "Give us five minutes, and we'll give you a semester."

I've met Dennis on several occasions, and produced a video of his debate last year with self proclaimed Progressive, David Sirota.  "What's Better for America, Liberal or Conservative Ideas?"

Dennis' quote "The Bigger the Government the Smaller the Citizen." reminds me on several levels of one of my other favorite quotes by another outstanding American, Thomas Jefferson, who said nearly two hundred years ago,  "The government is best which governs least,"

God bless them both.
