Political Quotes

“I wanted to comment on what you said and what the gentleman here said about what makes America great. When people stop to consider that this little sapling of a Nation in terms of age, 230-plus years old, virtually--and we're a baby compared to many of the other nations in the world--yet every modern convenience, virtually every modern convenience known to mankind was birthed right here in this country. And why was that? It was because of that system of free enterprise based on individual freedom. The ability to pursue our dreams, the ability to innovate that created this free enterprise system that we've come to know. It did not come about in the Halls of Congress. It was not discovered in the deliberation rooms of courtrooms. It was discovered around the campfires and around the dining room tables, the kitchen tables, the fields, the factories. As America came along, we learned when individuals are allowed to pursue their dreams in an environment of freedom without an oppressive Federal Government taxing them into oblivion, everybody wins. America wins, our allies win, everybody wins.”
