You go to Scandinavia, and you will find that people have a much higher standard of living, in terms of education, health care and decent paying jobs.
If a budget is designed to show our values, it's clear where the majority stands: against opportunity, against education, and against America's hard-working, tax-paying middle class.
I think if you have to pay for your education, you worry very seriously about you're going to do when you've got your degree.
We don't have the money in America to keep paying for the education of everybody else's children from around the world. We simply don't have the financial resources to do that.

Every dollar I can't commit to my company that's paid in taxes is paying a government that I believe is too big and doing way too much that I don't want done.
