On the recordJune 12, 2002
I do not care how late it is, and I do not care how many times we have to hear it, but this is something that we need to speak about more often. Let me be a little critical of our own party, if I can. We are Republicans, we are conservatives. We share a passion for free market capitalism together. You know, this is a subject on which Republicans ought to be vocal, as the gentleman has been, and we ought to see more of us from our side of the aisle here. I will tell you why, because these individuals in corporate society in America who are betraying their investors, betraying the employees of these companies and trying to get away with outright theft, are threatening our very existence as Americans. They are threatening our way of life and traditions of free market economics, driving what historically and traditionally has been the most powerful economic force on the planet, and that is the United States of America.
