About this Quote

This quote by Jeb Bush talks to the significance of people taking duty for their own lives and the lives of their fellow citizens. He recommends that without a caring society, where people want to take on the obligation of watching out for one another, government will end up being larger and more intrusive. This indicates that government will take more of citizens' money and have more control over their lives. Bush is stressing the value of residents taking obligation for their own lives and the lives of their fellow residents in order to prevent federal government from becoming too big and intrusive. He is suggesting that residents should want to take on the obligation of keeping an eye out for one another in order to preserve a healthy balance between government and residents.
