we are here today because the NLRB has once again overstepped the line. I am not sure it is a red line, but I do know this--that the Board has become a hyperpartisan, pro-union entity, and that does not benefit the American people. We saw…
you start stifling the innovative nature of entrepreneurs who typically hire people from their own communities.
it seems to me consistently unfair that that person, a single mom like mine, will pay the tax but will not be able to afford to send their student, their child, to a school of their own choosing
I think the future is in those schools. I want to spend time understanding and appreciating what is in their minds and how they view the issue of fairness, and it very often comes up.
the government school system in the United States, I describe as a system largely of institutionalized child abuse
the challenge that we face as entrepreneurs is that we do not have an HR department, we do not have a gang of lawyers waiting to do work for free.

Thank you both for being here today with us and providing us insight from 1986 in how you brought together what at times seemed to be impossible.
The good news is that Senator Hatch... has taken a fairly inventive and creative approach to making sure that we find some common ground.
Tax loopholes are ways for politicians to spend money without having to go through the appropriations process.
I think that raises constitutional concerns; and now with the joint employer issue, it seems to me this is a triple-headed attack.
I will tell you that the seven basis points that you increase it by may mitigate risk, but at the same time, it really passes on a greater burden to the consumer.
The proposal from the President actually impedes the ability for small and minority business owners to transfer wealth.
a 28-percent rate would be a positive rate, and it would put us in a position to be globally competitive.
I will tell you that perhaps there is a part of the narrative that is factual.
I believe that collective bargaining works, but it works best when we have successful, efficient, effective business.
