About This Quote

The government is a powerful entity that can be used to bring about positive change in society. It gives us the laws and rules that govern our society, but it also does a lot of good for people who live within its jurisdiction. The government can help keep us safe by monitoring threats against us and helping to protect our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And, if we do have a complaint with the government, we have a place to turn for help. The government can also help people get their needs met through programs such as welfare, food stamps, and social security so that they may live comfortably and not have to worry about their basic needs.
