The other day, someone told me the difference between a democracy and a people's democracy. It's the same difference between a jacket and a straitjacket.

Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.

The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the Constitution.

If you owe the bank $10,000 you have a problem. If you owe the bank $10,000,000 they have a problem. After all is said and done, more is said than done. Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.

I thought the function of the government was to promote the general welfare, not to provide it.

At the root of everything that we’re trying to accomplish is the belief that America has a mission. We are a nation of freedom, living under God, believing all citizens must have the opportunity to grow, create wealth, and build a better life for those who follow. If we live up to those moral values, we can keep the American dream alive for our children and our grandchildren, and America will remain mankind’s best hope.

Free enterprise has done more to reduce poverty than all the government programs dreamed up by Democrats.
