We need to make sure our government programs encourage work, not dependence.

Big government helps the people who have made it. It doesn't help the people who are trying to make it; it crushes the people who are trying to make it.

Americans chose a limited government that exists to protect our rights, not to grant them.

We need transparency in government spending. We need to put each government expenditure online so every Floridian can see where their tax money is being spent.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them the tools at their disposable that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. And our programs to help them should reflect that.

Leaders at the highest levels of our government are undertaking a deliberate and systematic effort to redefine our government, our economy and our country.
