I'm not only a lawyer, I have a post doctorate degree in federal tax law from William and Mary. I work in serious scholarship and work in the United States federal tax court. My husband and I raised five kids. We've raised 23 foster children. We've applied ourselves to education reform. We started a charter school for at-risk kids.
I would agree that President Carter didn't live up to the expectation we all had when he came in 1976. My husband and I were young idealists who worked on his campaign.
I am proud of my husband, Marcus, the love of my life, and his Swiss heritage. Even though I have been a dual citizen since I was married in 1978, I have never exercised any rights of that citizenship.
My husband said, 'Now you need to go and get a post-doctorate degree in tax law.' Tax law! I hate taxes. Why should I go and do something like that? But the Lord says, 'Be submissive, wives, you are to be submissive to your husbands.'
My husband and I had five biological children but we also have been raising 23 foster children.
My husband is not running for the presidency, neither are my children, neither is our business, neither are our foster children...
I've given birth to five babies and I breastfed every single one of these babies. To think that government has to go out and buy my breast pump for my babies. You wanna talk about the nanny state? I think we just got the new definition of a nanny.
Why would any parent want their kid on their health-care plan when they are 26? Parents want their kids to grow up and take care of themselves. A 26-year-old is an adult.
The one thing you can't buy, find, or create is time.
If you ask people do you think that government should spend less money than what it takes in, most people agree with that.
My future is full - it is limitless - and my passions for America will remain.
The biased left-wing media does what it wants. That's not going to define me or hamper me.
I come here as one of you - an Iowan!
You don't stay married for 33 years and not compromise.
