The American people and American businesses are looking to the federal government to lead our nation on the path to economic recovery. It is time to stop splitting hairs. It is time to act.

Government can't create wealth, but it can create the conditions for private enterprise to flourish.

Free enterprise cannot only make us better off financially, it can make us better people.

Trust free people and free enterprise as opposed to meddling, burdensome government.

Free enterprise has done more to lift people out of poverty, to help build a strong middle class, to help educate our kids, and to make our lives better than all the programs of government combined.

The Republican platform specifically says we don't believe in bailing out private business, and yet we did.

I think this is also a great time to invest in private equity, helping companies grow from the ground up.

The government has got to do something to help independent businesses.

We've been so preoccupied with getting the government to behave in a fair and democratic way, we were not able to focus on the private sector where most of the jobs are, where most of the wealth and opportunities are.

I'm not against government involvement in times of need. I am for recognizing that big public companies will continue to cut jobs in an effort to prop up stock prices, which in turn stimulates the need for more government involvement.
