election minutes i-can
999 ... I can explain it in a minute
jobs president occupy-movement
When they ask me who's the president of Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan I'm going to say, you know, I don't know. Do you know? And then I'm going to say how's that going to create one job?
thinking trying littles
I think that taxes would be fair if we first get rid of the tax code. This is the ultimate solution, not to just say we're going to trim around the edges, not to say that we will try to simplify a little of this and a little of that. The problem is, replace the tax code, so we can establish tax fairness for everybody.
kings moving careers
I started at Pillsbury as a manager in one of their analysis functions, then worked my way up the corporate ladder to become vice president. Moving to Burger King was an important moment in my career.
believe cutting common-sense
I'm not a professional politician. I'm a professional problem solver, and I believe we should cut the salaries of senators and congressmen 10 percent until they balance the budget. I call that conservative common sense.
jobs wall blame
Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks. If you don't have a job and you are not rich, blame yourself!
order government broken
I ran for president in order to be able to try to change Washington D.C. from the inside. Our federal government is broken.
vote used democrat
I used to vote Democrat.
people racist conservative
People who oppose Obama are said to be racists - so I guess I'm a racist.
people opinion polls
Polls are inaccurate in my opinion, based upon anecdotal evidence, based upon people that I know.
problem taxes code
That's the biggest problem, is the tax code itself.
zero growth gains
The biggest - one of the biggest barriers to driving economic growth is the capital gains tax rate. I propose taking it to zero.
obamacare government trying
If I had been under ObamaCare, and a beaurocrat had been trying to tell me when I could get that CT scan, that would have delayed my treatment. I was able to get the treatment as fast as I could based upon my timetable, and not the government's timetable. That's what saved my life.
country believe party
I honestly believe that there's an element in this country, in our politics, that does not want to see a businessman succeed at getting the nomination for the Republican party, and does not want me to succeed at becoming President of the United States of America.
