- “The corporate tax rate in the United States is one of the highest among developed countries in the world. For example, the corporate tax rate in Ireland is approximately 13% as compared to the United States at 35%. Such taxes dramatically increase the cost of doing business. For this reason, many companies have relocated their headquarters to places like Ireland. Many have denounced these companies as unpatriotic and un-American. However, it is often these same politicians who are responsible for the 35% tax rate. Their rate incentivizes these companies to leave.” Corporate Taxes.The corporate tax rate in the United States is one of the highest among developed countries in the world.

- “I will hereafter refer to Obamacare in all campaign literature as the 'Unaffordable Care Act' (UCA). This is a more accurate description. […] UCA increased the role of government in healthcare dramatically. However, we need to be moving in the opposite direction. We should decrease the role of government and increase free market forces, which is another way of saying let the people decide the best means for achieving affordable healthcare. If we allow true free-market principles of competition to operate, we will achieve our goals of improved quality and lower cost. These are always the eventual results of true, unfettered competition, whether it is in the healthcare field or on the football field.” (votesmart.org)
- “Those who are seeking citizenship in the United States do not have the right to decide if and when it will be granted to them. This decision rests with the current citizens and elected officials of the United States --not with those seeking to immigrate here.” (votesmart.org)
