national sales standards system tax
A national sales tax penalizes the poor. My system eliminates all standards of taxation.
thinking years long
The minimum wage is something that F.D.R. put in place a long time ago during the Great Depression. I don't think it worked then. It didn't solve any problems then and it hasn't solved any problems in 50 years.

If you have one volcano in the world, that one volcano puts out more carbon dioxide than everything man puts out.
running firsts rebirth
You're seeing the first communist-produced automobile coming in to the U.S.. What I'm going to run on is a rebirth of capitalism.
men volcanoes years
One volcano puts out more toxic gases - one volcano - than man makes in a whole year. And when you look at this climate change, and when you look at the regular climate change that we all have in the world, we have warm and we have cooling spells.
children growing-up thinking
Barack wants to stop all children from working on the farm... Can you imagine this? I just, I can't fathom that. Did you ever think we'd grow up in America and see something like that? Let me take it one step further. He wants to disallow the 4-H from training children to work on a farm.
obamacare needs
I say we need to repeal Obamacare as fast as we can.
children school special
I have a special child and there are not a lot of services around for that special child, and so we picked out a school that would be a very good school for her.
jobs children college
The minimum wage is not something that you want to stay on as a permanent basis. For example, if you have a minimum wage job, you don't stay there 20 or 30 years. You don't put your children through college working on minimum wage.
running government lines
We ought to start running the government like a private-sector business. I have that ability as CEO of our companies. I have line item vetoes, and if I didn't, we'd probably be out of business by now.
proud west hillbilly
I'm a native West Virginian and I've been called everything from a hillbilly to a stump jumper. I'm always proud of it; I'm very proud to be a West Virginian.
money way made
I made my money the old-fashioned way, I inherited it.
