I think the minimum wage ought to keep pace with inflation.

I think we can all agree this is a very important election [2016]. We don't want to see Hillary Clinton become the president of the United States.

America can compete with anyone in the world as long as the playing field is level. China's been cheating over the years. One by holding down the value of their currency. Number two, by stealing our intellectual property; our designs, our patents, our technology. We will have to have people play on a fair basis.

In the richest country in the history of the world, this Obama economy has crushed the middle class. Family income has fallen by $4,000, but health insurance premiums are higher, food prices are higher, utility bills are higher, and gasoline prices have doubled. Today more Americans wake up in poverty than ever before.

Free enterprise has done more to lift people out of poverty, to help build a strong middle class, to help educate our kids, and to make our lives better than all the programs of government combined.

If we want to get rid of Obamacare, we're going to have to replace President Obama.

I would explain to my children very simply that the defense of liberty is a cause that exacts a very high price in the history of humankind.
