You obviously misunderstand the meaning of the phrase. Thoreau's quote meant that the government can and should protect its citizens without micromanaging every aspect of their lives.

A government that micromanages everything is called a totalitarian government, and that is the path the EU is currently following. If we lose, FANDOM will be the last of its kind. It will be a Planet of Middlemen. Freedom itself will become a forgotten art.
