The gov can indeed have a good impact. And it has a role to play. But there are limits and it must stay within its limits. Even if at times it is more efficient if the activity is outside of what the legitimate role of gov is (like running church services) then the gov should not do it. On the other hand, even if it does things less efficiently if it is the rightful role of gov (like waging a war) then it is better that the gov do it. And again since money the gov uses must first be taken from the economy by coercion the the gov that governs the least governs the best. Where have I heard that before?
