I Took A Vow Of Political Celibacy.

Our Educational Results Lag Behind Other States, And Other Nations, But Worse Still, Behind The Potential Of The Kids And The Devoted Teachers In Our Classrooms.

We Designed Both Our State Employee Health Plans And The One We Created For Low-income Hoosiers As Health Savings Accounts, And Now In The Tens Of Thousands These Citizens Are Proving That They Are Fully Capable Of Making Smart, Consumerist Choices About Their Own Health Care.

The Public Is Increasingly Disgusted With A Steady Diet Of Defamation, And Prepared To Reward Those Who Refrain From It.

So Tonight I Propose One More Step That I Would Rather Not Propose. I Ask The Most Fortunate Among Us, Those Citizens Earning Over $100,000 Per Year, For One Year, To Pay An Additional One Percent On The Income They Receive.

The President's Grand Experiment In Trickle-down Government Has Held Back Rather Than Sped Economic Recovery. He Seems To Sincerely Believe We Can Build A Middle Class Out Of Government Jobs Paid For With Borrowed Dollars.
