It is hard for me to imagine retiring at 65 and spending the next quarter century not working. I expect to be working, doing something productive and fulfilling.
When was the last time you heard news accounts of a boatload of American refugees arrive on the shores of another country?
You know those movies where the people in the audience are screaming, 'Don't go in that door!' because you know the killer is there? Well, it is the same thing with this debt. We know how this ends.
We can not continue to allow this over reliance on government to replace the cornerstone institution that has made the American experience possible.
You know who a complicated tax code kills? The guy or gal trying to start a business out of the spare bedroom of their home. So we've got to simplify our tax code.
People have a right to be a Democrat. People have a right to be wrong. I know they're the same thing.
If I were running to be somebody, there are a lot of easier sombodies to be. After all, running against the incumbent governor of your own party in your home state is not the next logical step in a political life.
People end up fleeing countries who adopt economic policies based on these flawed principles. And more often than not, they come here.
No matter where I go or what title I may achieve, I will always be the son of exiles.
Let's stop big government energy mandates like cap-and-trade, and instead trust the American innovator to make us energy independent.
No. 1, it [amnesty for illegal aliens] demoralizes the people that are going through the legal process. It's a very clear signal that why go through the legal process if you can accomplish the same thing through the illegal process? And No. 2, it demoralizes the people enforcing the law. So I am not and I will never support - never have and never will support - any effort to grant blanket legalization amnesty to folks who have entered or stayed in this country illegally.
...you're never going to have a legal immigration system that works if you grant amnesty.
I've seen how the left has used it to accuse opponents of their version of reform of being bigots and racists.
With unemployment still abysmally high, the Obama economy is crushing Hispanics' dreams for their children to live a better life.
But America was founded on the principle that every person has God-given rights. That power belongs to the people. That government exists to protect our rights and serve our interests. That we shouldn’t be trapped in the circumstances of our birth. That we should be free to go as far as our talents and work can take us.
I'm proud of the fact that the Republican Party is the pro-life party on the issue of life.
I'm going to be working the next 25 or 30 years. People like me, if we want, number one, for no benefit reductions for our parents and our grandparents, number two, for the system to survive and exist for us, and, more importantly, number three, for the system to exist for us children, we are going to have to make reforms to that system.
I think there are many in the Democratic Party that want immigration to be unsolved issue at least for the time being, because it's more useful as a campaign issue than it is as a solved issue.
But since her earliest days, America has inspired people from all over the world. Inspired them with the hope that one day their own countries would be one like this one.
And so, whether they came here on the Mayflower, on a slave ship, or on an airplane from Havana, we are all descendants of the men and women who built here the nation that saved the world.
I always tell people I'm running against two Democrats, one that admits it and one that does not.
Americans believe with all their heart, the vast majority of them, and the vast majority of Floridians, that the United States of America is simply the single greatest nation in all of human history.
The problem is that when government controls the economy, those who can influence government keep winning, and everybody else just stays the same.
We have a government that borrows $4 billion a day. We have a government that owes trillions of dollars in debt, half of that to foreigners, most of that to Chinese investors. I don't - that is extreme. Not only is it extreme. It's insane and it's unsustainable.
Most countries choose to have government run the economy.
