There is nothing inherently fair about equalizing incomes. If the government penalizes you for working harder than somebody else that is unfair. If you save your money but retire with the same pension as a free-spending neighbor that is also unfair.

But without a caring society without each citizen voluntarily accepting the weight of responsibility government is destined to grow even larger taking more of your money burrowing deeper into your lives.

And I can tell you that history will back up what I'm about to say and that is that there is no government run by conservatives Republicans put whoever you want there if you give government the opportunity to spend more money than it has it will do it. It will do it every time.

And you can't have a prosperous economy when the government is way overspending raising tax rates printing too much money over regulating and restricting free trade. It just can't be done.

I decided I ought to pick a project that would not be controversial that would not really cost the government a lot of money.

We need to reclaim our American system of limited government low taxes reasonable regulations and sound money which has blessed us with unprecedented prosperity. And it has done more to help the poor than any other economic system ever designed.

In a very weak economy when you say 'cut government spending ' what you mean is you're laying off school teachers and you're de-funding various programs that put money into the economy. This means you have more unemployed people that then draw unemployment benefits and don't pay taxes.

Remember that government doesn't earn one single dollar it spends. In order for you to get money from the government that money must first be taken from somebody else.

We need transparency in government spending. We need to put each government expenditure online so every Floridian can see where their tax money is being spent.

We don't need new taxes. We need new taxpayers people that are gainfully employed making money and paying into the tax system. And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again.

Money is power and in that government which pays all the public officers of the states will all political power be substantially concentrated.

I hope all of you are going to fill out your census form when it comes in the mail next month. If you don't return the form the area you live in might get less government money and you wouldn't want that to happen would you.

I know it's going to be the private sector that leads this country out of the current economic times we're in. You can spend your money better than the government can spend your money.

Well private money can take risks in a way that government money often isn't willing to.

The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is is that when we succeed we succeed because of our individual initiative but also because we do things together.

I spent my whole life in the private sector 25 years in the private sector. I understand that when government takes more money out of the hands of people it makes it more difficult for them to buy things. If they can't buy things the economy doesn't grow. If the economy doesn't grow we don't put Americans to work.

If you make any money the government shoves you in the creek once a year with it in your pockets and all that don't get wet you can keep.

When the federal government spends more each year than it collects in tax revenues it has three choices: It can raise taxes print money or borrow money. While these actions may benefit politicians all three options are bad for average Americans.

Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.

I have long believed taxpayers make better use of their money than the government ever could.

A corporation's primary goal is to make money. Government's primary role is to take a big chunk of that money and give it to others.

Property may be destroyed and money may lose its purchasing power but character health knowledge and good judgement will always be in demand under all conditions.

A good reputation is more valuable than money.

You don't appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle-aged woman: Stuff you pay good money for in later life.
