Most politicians don’t seem to understand the connection between our ability to compete and our national wealth, and the wealth of our families. They act as if money just happens–that it’s just there. But every dollar represents a good or service produced in the private sector. Depress the private sector and you depress the well-being of Americans.

That’s exactly what happens with high taxes, over-regulation, tort windfalls, mandates, and overfed, over-spending government. Did you see that today, government workers make more money than people who work in the private sector. Can you imagine what happens to an economy where the best opportunities are for bureaucrats?

It’s high time to lower taxes, including corporate taxes, to take a weed-whacker to government regulations, to reform entitlements, and to stand up to the increasingly voracious appetite of the unions in our government!

Mitt was the only one of the three left standing to really understands this. Yes, I'm an economic conservative. Social issues and national defense issues are important. But neither of them can advance without a free and growing economy.

I am also above all things an economic conservative. That is why Mitt was the most attractive candidate to me. Reagan used to say, “It is time to wake that sleeping giant of prosperity and industrial might that is America.” That is Mitt and we really lost today.
