Rand Paul

We should be giving them an award today. We should be congratulating them on being a great American company.

There are 70 votes right now in the Senate for having a 5-percent repatriation tax.

I think we need to restate for the record and be very clear here that neither this panel nor anyone on the Committee has said that Apple broke any laws.

If you want to chase them out, bring them here and vilify them. It is exactly the wrong thing to do.

I find it abominable.

I am offended by a $4 trillion government bullying, berating, and badgering one of America's greatest success stories.

This Committee will admit that Apple has not broken any laws, yet we are forced to sit and Apple is forced to sit through a show trial.

If anyone should be on trial here, it should be Congress.

If you want to assign blame, the Committee needs to look in this mirror and see who created the mess.

Our corporate Tax Code is double Canada's.

The Supreme Court has said that it is a right that D.C. citizens do have as well as the States.

If I can interrupt you for a second, I went to that elementary school. I think they did it in 4 days.

I frankly find it inconceivable that you could really calculate where you are going to spend $60 billion.

I guess my problem is it is a huge guess. How do you know you are going to spend $11 billion?

I would have only given you $2 billion or $3 billion. I would have said, 'Prove to me that you can do a good job.'

The history of government is that people do not treat it like their money.

But having them on the books is a great human rights abuse.

There are strains, and not insignificant strains, I think maybe as much as a third of the population of Pakistan, maybe half, said they would vote for bin Laden.

I think there has been too much hesitancy sometimes in our society that we are going to offend all of Islam.

I think we have become so timid with certain of these--you know, at the very least we can call them intolerances, but basically killing people for religious speech I think is something we should not be ashamed of speaking out about.

The vast majority of the public is not in favor of arming Islamic rebels who, in all likelihood, will be killing Christians in Syria.

I am not proposing we invade Pakistan to tell them how to lead their lives in their country, but I am saying that not only should we speak out about it, we should make our aid contingent upon it.

Among the great human rights abuses I think is putting people to death for their speech.

Be very wary of what intervention means when we intervene.

I think it is also untenable to the American public for the administration to say... our goal is stalemate.
