Size Matters
“Lively advocacy of small government.”
—World Magazine
Your right to pursue happiness has been revoked by Big Government. Thousands of pages of regulations, millions of employees, and trillions of tax dollars — Big Government is bigger than ever, and as this bloated behemoth continues to fatten up and stretch out, it squeezes America’s entrepreneurs, workers, and families — cutting our choices, limiting our opportunities, and squelching our right to pursue happiness.
Size Matters shows through facts, figures, and head-spinning stories that we suffer a decrease in our quality of life as the state grows in the quantity of its laws and powers. Bristling with drama and data, Size Matters reveals the real daily drawbacks of Big Government, how it:
- reduces family income
- drives up the cost of healthcare and consumer products and services
- hampers employment
- misdirects entrepreneurial efforts
- stifles vital marketplace creativity and innovation

World Magazine
“Miller will make you excited about the potential of America-and spitting mad that Big Government keeps tripping us up.”
