My deal is have a flat, simple tax. And - Americans want - Americans I hope - aspire to be - be wealthy. I hope they aspire to have a better quality of life. And we have this class warfare that's going on now. And I don't agree with that. I'm interested in people getting to work.

I'm worried about that man or woman sitting around - the coffee table tonight or in their kitchen talking about how are we going to get to work. How are we going to have the dignity to take care of our family.

We must do right and risk the consequences.

It is time to let America be America again. To return freedom to the people. To stand on our founding principles and reject the cynical politics of the Nanny State.

We can't have deficit spending in Texas. You have to balance your budget every two years.

We do not have to accept our current circumstances. We will change them. We are Americans. That's what we do.

My quarrel is not with the legitimate role of government but with the unlimited role of government.
