Since taking office President Obama has signed into law spending increases of nearly 25 percent for domestic government agencies - an 84 percent increase when you include the failed stimulus. All of this new government spending was sold as 'investment.'

That's the definition of 'success' for the modern Democrat Party. As many people dependent on government as possible is the objective.

The income tax is a twentieth-century socialist experiment that has failed. Before the income tax was imposed on us just 80 years ago government had no claim to our income. Only sales excise and tariff taxes were allowed.

I don't believe we need the government's help as much as some think we do. That belief sets me apart from the Democrats since their way of dealing with everything is to tax and spend.

Political tyranny is nothing compared to the social tyranny and a reformer who defies society is a more courageous man than a politician who defies Government.

As Americans we don't see the role of government as guaranteeing outcomes but allowing free men and women to flourish based on their own vision their hard work and their personal responsibility.

People forget... that we structured it so that the government or the people would be repaid with a really good rate of return. And as it turns out that aspect of TARP that's what happened.

The control of information is something the elite always does particularly in a despotic form of government. Information knowledge is power. If you can control information you can control people.

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 should reject big government and look inside ourselves for all the things that built this country into what it was.
