What I want to do is create more taxpayers, not more taxes.

The American people know that we cannot spend our way to prosperity.

Heritage Action is a self-interested fundraising organization led by a former Giuliani staffer who is not taking counsel from real conservatives... It is a worthless organization to the conservative movement. I'll be the first to say that.
