Taoism doesn't have an official position on government. And while much of it seems to be almost libertarian in terms of general philosophy, it was founded under an imperial system of government, so its possible that the original concepts were meant to be viewed in that context.
Like with many religions, you will find people on both sides, some wanting bigger government, some wanting smaller, and they will both find support for their argument. There is no one answer.

What happens to Taoisms after life?
In a sense Taoism is not so much a religion as a philosophy that is usually imposed on other religions. Taoists have a rather unspecific idea of divinity and afterlife. Most Taoists are Buddhists, who believe in reincarnation. Many Taoists are adherents of Chinese Folk Religions who seem to share a believe in afterlife centering around spirits of the dead who are the ancestors one should worship. Other Taoists are members of other religions with other beliefs.

What is the name of The God of the Taoist?
Taoists don't believe in any gods. They believe in peace and calmness through the body. They don't often pray but when they do, it's often for someone to talk to. Taoists believe in kung fu and all of that stuff but don't have any gods to worship. So if you find a name for a god of the Taoist it's happy for you but i don't think there is a Taoist god. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taoists believe in numerous deities, headed by the Jade Emperor & his Bride the Empress of the West. Above the Jade Emperor are the 3 Pure Ones.
How many times do Taoisms worship a day?
Since most Taoists do not believe in a God, it is difficult to say that they "pray."

They also read sacred texts from their religion and think about the meanings those texts contain.
Is taoism one of biggest religions today?
No, it is not. Adherents number about 50 million, which is not many as religions go. There are actually a lot more people influenced by Taoism, and even who believe in it. But it is compatible with other belief systems to the extent that many people who believe have other religions. There are many Buddhists who are also Taoists, but call themselves Buddhists and not Taoists when asked. The same is true for Shintoists. There are even many Christians who are also Taoists.
