Obsessions Turn People Off.

The Future Of The Republican Party, All The Different Folks Looking To Lead The Republican Party At The National Level In The Future, Recognize We Should Do Immigration Reform.

Obama Wants To Take The Individual Small Business Tax To 44 Percent, And The Corporate Rate - He Says - Down To 28 Percent Or Whatever. But That Really Damages The Small Businesses. And It Doesn't Make Us Competitive. You Got To Take Them Both Down To 20, Because State And Local Corporate Taxes Are 5 Percent.

The Question Is: How Do We Reduce Spending From 25% Of Gdp, Which Is Where Obama Put Us? The Focus Is On Total Government Spending. Can We Bring It Down, In A Reasonable And Politically Acceptable Way? That's What The Paul Ryan Plan Does. It Puts Us On A Gradual Reform Path To Reducing The Size Of Government.

I Want To Reduce The Size Of Government In Half As A Percentage Of Gnp - Gross National Product - Over The Next 25 Years. We Want To Reduce The Number Of People Depending On Government So There Is More Autonomy And More Free Citizens.

I Know The Activists I Deal With, We Sort Of Try And Check Each Other To Make Sure That We Haven't Gone Native, That You Come To Washington Thinking It's A Cesspool, You Don't Want To End Up Thinking It's Really A Hot Tub And Getting Used To It. So That's Something One Has To Keep An Eye On All The Time.
