Political Quotes

“Mr. President, the point they are trying to make is, government spending is a pretty good indicator of what is left over for the private sector to invest and spend, for example, on new jobs. When the government spends more, inevitably, it has to borrow more--40 cents on every $1--or increase taxes--either way, reducing what is available for the private sector to invest and hire. We should be focused, as a result, as the editorial notes, on reducing wasteful Washington spending and allowing the genius of the American people to do what Senator Rubio has made very clear: We have always had the capability of creating jobs, unfettered by too much government taxation and regulation. So we need to do away with those policies, such as the Federal policy that reduced the value of the dollar, we need to try to eliminate as many regulations that burden the American people as possible, and we need to avoid raising taxes. Bear in mind, we are not talking about cutting taxes. We are not talking about cutting taxes for the wealthy or cutting taxes for business or cutting taxes for people, generally. Leave them alone, don't raise them, is all we are saying. When you hear some politicians say you want to cut taxes for the wealthy or give oil companies big tax breaks--no, leave it alone.
