Political Quotes

“Our businessmen said, That's the worst thing. I think their point was, You've got yourself a little machine shop or some business, if all your money is taxed away from you, you can't put a shed on it and add a new machine tool; you can't invest in a new process or a new idea or a new innovation. We've got a guy in my district and he actually has a farm over in Illinois, and I just love innovation in Americans. This guy recognized that there is a material that nobody seems to want in our country, and it comes out of the south end of pigs. And it's kind of smelly stuff. He has found some way to put pig manure into these big kettles, run the pressure up and the temperature up and turn it into a crude tar which he uses to make asphalt to make roads. And we have a section of road which is a pig manure road which apparently our Department of Transportation says is pretty good quality asphalt. You know, that's the kind of thing, though, you've got to have money to invest in a new idea, and if the government taxes all your money away, how do you create those jobs?”
