We are the ones looking out for the middle class. Who do think pays for the endless expansion of government? Its middle class taxpayers. Our reforms protect middle class taxpayers.
So let me be clear, Collective bargaining isn't a right, it is an expensive entitlement. Once and for all, we are giving the taxpayers a voice in this debate. We put the power back in the hands of the people.
We'll look to the fall and if there is a new president and a new Senate that's part of a Congress willing to change, that's the next step.
A wise governor told me a long time ago, political capital you don't get more of by keeping it. You get it by using it.
I'd like now and into the future to play a bigger role not only in Wisconsin and the Midwest, but nationally. I'd like to have an impact.
And I think Governor Romney has a shot if the 'R' next to his name doesn't just stand for 'Republican,' it stands for 'reformer.'
You can make tough decisions that I believe voters for years have asked us to do.
Let this be our time in history so that someday we can tell our children and grandchildren that we were there, that we changed the course of history for the better.
My problem with public sector union leaders, the bosses, has been they stood in the way of protecting the taxpayer.
Certainly political capital-slash-celebrity attention, whatever you want to call it, certainly is part of the reason why I've been reaching out to CEOs. There's a lot of folks who probably would have taken a call from me before but are even more inclined now and are interested in what we're doing because of all the attention.
I kept my promises.
One of the things I get amused by is when my opponent talks about the middle class.
My kids were targeted on Facebook by protesters.
People create jobs, not the government.
But Mitt Romney understands, like I understand, that people - not governments - create jobs.
I think most of us in America understand that people, not the government, creates jobs.
I think people across America want a leader who's actually going to listen to them.
People like Hillary Clinton think you grow the economy by growing Washington.
