MORE JOBS. . . LESS GOVERNMENT
The most serious threat to our liberty today is the economic oppression by government. A nation cannot be free if citizens cannot find productive work to support themselves. In times of financial hardship good people will accept bad policies in the hope that somehow government will save them from financial hardship.
In recent years as the government has tried to borrow and spend us out of the recession. It did not work. It cannot work. Each dollar the government spends must be borrowed or taxed from a citizen. This actually further depresses the economy by removing money from the private sector only to be doled out by the bureaucrats and politicians who think they know better how to spend your dollars! While there may be short term benefit from these policies for the those receiving government aid, in the long run private business and families must pay the price and things just get worse.
As a people we must start to look to ourselves for solutions and not to government. As famously said by Ronald Reagan, “Government is not the solution to our problem, government IS the problem!”
A BETTER WAY
Ohio must seek a better way. We need to scale back government and release the incredible economic power of our citizens. As our neighbors prosper, the economy will improve and jobs will grow. I will always respect the values and wisdom of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, which have been the foundation of our prosperity for over 200 years! With your help, we will make Ohio great again!
