We do not have a revenue problem in D.C. or this county. We have a prioritization problem. When you create the priorities you fund the priorities of the country and you stop spending money when you get to zero.

The problem is government spends too much. So raising taxes is what politicians do, instead of reducing spending.

We do not have a money problem in America. We have a values and priorities problem.

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

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.

The budget doesn't have much control over the government. Then again, the government doesn't have much control over the budget.

We have a spending problem, not a taxing problem. The less we spend, the more jobs we have the potential to create.

In the business world, lower profits reflect less demand for your product. But in government the opposite is true - demand for our services increases in hard times.

Government spending is taxation. When you look at this, I've never heard of a poor person spending himself into prosperity; let alone I've never heard of a poor person taxing himself into prosperity.

If we want to increase revenue, we need more taxpayers. The way to do that is employ more people.
