I am not for raising taxes on the American people in a soft economy.

When you raise the price of employment, guess what happens? You get less of it. Why do we want to make it harder for small employers to hire people?

They pushed us into the fight to defund Obamacare and shut down the government. And the day before the government reopened, one of these groups said, 'Well, we never thought it would work.' Are you kidding me?!

Well, as a former small businessperson - I understand what's going on, I think in the business community. And businesspeople around the country are looking at all the spending and all the debt. They're looking at all the policies coming out of this Congress and this administration the last two years, and they - it's created all this uncertainty.

We're going take a common-sense, step-by-step approach that puts in place the kind of policies that will make our- our health insurance system more what I call patient-centered and lower cost.

We believe the super stock option will become a reality before the end of 2000, ... It's a good idea whose time has come.

But make no mistake, the President will find in our new majority the voice of the American people as they've expressed it tonight: standing on principle, checking Washington's power and leading the drive for a smaller, less costly, and more accountable government.
