I believe in the America people's ability to govern themselves. If government would just get out of the way and allow them to lead their lives as they choose, they will succeed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe in infrastructure, I believe in investing in your hard assets. Where I think government starts to fail is when it starts getting itself weighed down with the social programs. And I think the American public just feels like a lot of that money is tossed aside and wasted.
I believe in small government and people taking care of themselves.
I think most people believe success in government is how many fewer people are in government, not because you kick them off of benefits like unemployment but they've been able to control their own destiny because private sector employers have created more jobs.
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.
My concept of government's role in people's lives is that it is limited but legitimate, and essential when people have nowhere else to turn.
The best government is that which teaches us to govern ourselves.
Let the people think they govern and they will be governed.
I still believe in the power of government to make lives better, and I believe that if someone is willing to take a stand, other people will follow.
I believe in the greatness of our democracy.
People in so many countries look up to the United States as a model of democracy, but I doubt if that can continue. It leaves me with a great sense of loss.
