Any clever rejoinder to this libertarian slogan?

[Narkos]

"The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen."

[denbot]

1. The bigger the corporation the smaller the citizen

[gateley]

3. Perfect! nt

[TransitJohn]

2. Make the pie higher.

[miscsoc]

4. it's quite a good slogan, even if obviously not true

it's depressing to think about why that is - because market-fetishist notions have seeped so deeply into our collective consciousness as to have become conventional wisdom.

[Ken Burch]

5. Any number of "car size vs. genital size" jokes would work.

n/t.

[Ken Burch]

6. "larger government causes weight loss"?

n/t.

[rrneck]

7. Not if the citizen's running it. nt

[Turbineguy]

8. Government

by of and for the people shall not perish.

Or something like that.

The citizen is as big as the Government. As usual, they've got it backwards.

9. The smaller the government,

the more insignificant citizen
the larger crimes
the bigger disaster
the more BP's.
the less protected are citizens

[socialist_n_TN]

10. I like the last one...............

The smaller the government the less protected the citizen. Who will look out for citizens if NOT government? The corporations? The Capitalists?

[divideandconquer]

11. Truthiness in action, it sure sounds good but isn't true

The citizens of Somalia and many other nations with weak government would beg to differ.

[Lilith Velkor]

12. The freer the market, the more oppressed the citizen.

[metapunditedgy]

13. Exactly how should the "demand side" organize?

Because unregulated corporations are free to do whatever they want to maximize their profits, right? Naturally, unregulated consumers can also organize to minimize corporate profits.

How exactly should consumers organize?

It's not a slogan, and it depends on the whole "supply/demand" fairy tale, but I claim that if you follow it through, you eventually end up with a government that tells corporations how to behave if they want to sell goods in your town.

[Ozymanithrax]

14. Size doesn't matter. n/t

[guitar man]

15. Yeah

" put down the bong, get out of your parent's basement and go get a job out in the real world, and for chrissakes find something better to read than Ayn Rand!"

[pnwmom]

16. A truly democratic government empowers all its citizens. Not just the lucky few. n/t
