The fewer government employees, the better. Zero being the best number of them to have.
The next-best situation, if government is allowed to exist at all, is only one government "employee", even if it's a lone dictator.
What can a dictator do if he has no underlings- government employees- to impose his will on the people? You can't have a police state without police, nor can you have a military state without a military.
Would the lonely dictator be killed, or would he be ignored because he would be irrelevant?
His Supreme Potentate, General Dick Tater, would be utterly powerless. If he did start to find a way to impose his will on others, he'd either end up with more people helping him for favors, money, or power (more government employees, which is always bad), or he'd be eliminated the minute he became a threat.
One way leads back to where we keep ending up; the other to a potential for liberty
