Summary

This quote emphasizes the contradiction of individuals who claim they are being taxed excessively and desire a limited government, yet still expect to receive benefits and favors from the government. The phrase "bring me home some bacon" symbolizes the expectation of receiving advantageous treatment or resources from the state. The statement implies that if you advocate for reduced taxation and constitutional governance, you should not simultaneously demand government support or advantages since such excessive demands deplete the resources available to the public. Thus, it underscores the inconsistent stance of wanting limited government involvement while expecting personal benefits.
