I'm for tax reform, not tax increases.

We want [government] down to the size to where it would fit in a bathtub, and then it could worry about what we were up to.

One of the reasons some of the advocates of ever larger government and more government intrusiveness get nervous about discussions of the actual cost of government is that they fear if the people had a discussion about what government costs, the true cost of taxes, that they might not want as much government as they are presently getting.

We will make it so that a Democrat cannot govern as a Democrat.

Democrats are people who raise your taxes and spend your money on weird stuff. They steal your guns, and they spit on your faith.

They tax when you earn a dollar, they tax you when you save it, they tax you when you invest it. If you earn a dividend, they tax it again, and if you're stupid enough to die, they steal up to half.

Taxes are the killing fields of Democrats.
