We sincerely believed that we don't tax too little in Washington. We spend too much.

This is other people's money that Washington is appropriating and spending.

Washington has got to, across the board, lower taxes for small businesses so that our mom and pops can reinvest and hire people, so that our businesses can thrive.

The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.

The American people think the government in Washington is too big. That it spends too much. And - and that it's totally out of control. They want something done about it.

The American people are tired of the out-of-control spending, and they want Washington to get their act in order and stop spending money we don't have.

Look, only in Washington is not raising taxes considered a tax cut. Nobody's getting a tax cut here. We're not cutting taxes. We're preventing tax increases from occurring.

We need a smaller, leaner Washington. It won't happen if we raise taxes without any coinciding reform and serious slashing of spending.

Washington's a cesspool of money.

Washington is a place where politicians don't know which way is up and taxes don't know which way is down.
