Tim Walberg: “When you get to the common-sense issues, the virtues that people see as common sense, we are not divided, we are not red…”

“When you get to the common-sense issues, the virtues that people see as common sense, we are not divided, we are not red state, blue state. We are a common based unified people that believe in common sense things. Jonathan Witherspoon, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, said: A Republic once equally poised must either preserve its virtue or lose its liberty. Virtue of hard work, the virtue of risk taking and entrepreneurial spirit, the virtue of accountability, of responsibility, of honesty, of integrity, those are virtues. And they go all into what makes our country great and what our taxpayers generally commit themselves to on a common base. And when we break down those virtues and give those away, we destroy ourselves and our liberty in the process. So let's fight together to stop this $683 billion tax grab that will frustrate this country and take it back as opposed to pressing it forward.”
