The Federal Department of Education should be eliminated. The Department of Education is unconstitutional and should not be involved in education, at any level.

We have put in so much entitlement into our government that we really have spoiled our citizenryand said, you don't want the jobs that are available.

You can make more money on unemployment than you can going down and getting one of those jobs that is an honest job, but it doesn't pay as much.

I think that, you know, when we start talking about the Tea Party, people want to marginalize that into some kind of organization or party, but it really isn't.

And we know that once we have a majority that are dependent upon the government, we will lose our freedom; it says we go into bondage. That's the next stage.
