  • Does the owner of the restaurant own his restaurant? Or does the government own his restaurant?

  • You know, when Republicans were in charge, we doubled the debt. But, now, our concern is the Democrats are in charge and they're tripling the debt. So, really, our concern is that we want smaller government.

  • We should not have the U.S. government buying stock in American industries - the financial industry or any other industry.

  • We don't need bigger government. We need to shrink the size of government.

  • The great and abiding lesson of American history, particularly the cold war, is that the engine of capitalism, the individual, is mightier than any collective.
