Political Quotes

“It seems to me we need to remind ourselves what made the United States of America so great, and that was the concept that the people that worked hard, that really tried, that invested, that took chances, that got up every morning when they did not feel like it and went to work and produced, were better off than the people that do not. Now we are moving into sort of a gray area where often the individuals on some of the welfare programs are better off than working poor. That cannot be the formula for a successful America. We have to get back to the concept that those who are trying every day, that are working hard, that are striving to make their family and their kids more independent and more successful, by encouraging them when they come home every night, are the people that are going to make the future of America and make it greater. We cannot continue to rely, as an aging industry, on increasing taxes on business and individuals as a way for government to have more funds to make it right for everybody else. We have to have the kind of policy that encourages those individuals to be more responsible for their own destiny.”
