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.
national sales standards system tax
A national sales tax penalizes the poor. My system eliminates all standards of taxation.
business federal government school state system
The federal government has no business in any school system in any state in the country.
against anywhere blast freedom program socialist work worked
Why do I hate Obamacare? Because it is a blast against freedom. It is a socialist program which will not work. It hasn't worked anywhere in the world. It will be repealed.
amount business country inordinate pay time
Every time you have a new tax, or every time you have to pay really an inordinate amount for a regulation, it's really stifling this country and really stifling American business.
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.
great money
I made my money the old-fashioned way; I inherited it. I think that's a great thing to do.
