"But let me tell you what happens when regulations go too far, when they seem to exist only for the purpose of justifying the existence of a regulator. It kills the people trying to start a business."

-Marco Rubio

businessView Quote
"No community values entrepreneurship and small business more than the Hispanic community."

-Marco Rubio

businessView Quote
"I traveled the state of Florida for two years campaigning. I have never met a job creator who told me that they were waiting for the next tax increase before they started growing their business. I've never met a single job creator who's ever said to me I can't wait until government raises taxes again so I can go out and create a job."

-Marco Rubio

businessView Quote
"You know who a complicated tax code kills? The guy or gal trying to start a business out of the spare bedroom of their home. So we've got to simplify our tax code."

-Marco Rubio

businessView Quote
"Americans chose a free enterprise system designed to provide a quality of opportunity, not compel a quality of results. And that is why this is only place in the world where you can open up a business in the spare bedroom of your home."

-Marco Rubio

businessView Quote
"Barack Obama doesn't believe in free enterprise. He's never going to admit it. For instance, he's never going to come straight out and say, 'If you own a business you didn't build it.' Alright, maybe he will."

-Marco Rubio

businessView Quote
"Under Barack Obama, the only 'Change' is that 'Hope' has been hard to find. Now millions of Americans are insecure about their future. But instead of inspiring us by reminding us of what makes us special, he divides us against each other. He tells Americans they're worse off because others are better off. That people got rich by making others poor."

-Marco Rubio

changeView Quote
"Hope and Change has become Divide and Conquer."

-Marco Rubio

changeView Quote
"My parents were working class folks. My dad was a bartender for most of his life, my mom was a maid and a cashier and a stock clerk at WalMart. We were not people of financial means in terms of significant financial means. I always told them, 'I didn't always have what I wanted. I always had what I needed.' My parents always provided that."

-Marco Rubio

dadView Quote
"My dad was a bartender. My mom was a cashier, a maid and a stock clerk at K-Mart. They never made it big. They were never rich. And yet they were successful. Because just a few decades removed from hopelessness, they made possible for us all the things that had been impossible for them."

-Marco Rubio

dadView Quote
"My Dad used to tell us: 'En este pais, ustedes van a poder lograr todas las cosas que nosotros no pudimos' 'In this country, you will be able to accomplish all the things we never could.'"

-Marco Rubio

-Marco Rubio

familyView Quote
"We are special because we've been united not by a common race or ethnicity. We're bound together by common values. That family is the most important institution in society. That almighty God is the source of all we have."

-Marco Rubio

familyView Quote

-Marco Rubio

governmentView Quote
"We don't need new taxes. We need new taxpayers, people that are gainfully employed, making money and paying into the tax system. And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again."

-Marco Rubio

governmentView Quote
"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."

-Marco Rubio

governmentView Quote
"But those who believe that what our people desire is big government are living in a state of delusion."

governmentView Quote
"But America was founded on the principle that every person has God-given rights. That power belongs to the people.

That we should be free to go as far as our talents and work can take us."

-Marco Rubio

governmentView Quote

-Marco Rubio

governmentView Quote
"And here's the fact: the fact is it doesn't solve the problem. First of all, if you taxed these people at 100 percent, basically next year you said, 'Look, every penny you make next year the government's going to take it from you,' it still doesn't solve the debt."

-Marco Rubio

governmentView Quote
"I traveled the state of Florida for two years campaigning. I have never met a job creator who told me that they were waiting for the next tax increase before they started growing their business. I've never met a single job creator who's ever said to me I can't wait until government raises taxes again so I can go out and create a job."

-Marco Rubio

governmentView Quote
"We have a government that borrows $4 billion a day. We have a government that owes trillions of dollars in debt, half of that to foreigners, most of that to Chinese investors. I don't - that is extreme. Not only is it extreme. It's insane and it's unsustainable."

-Marco Rubio

governmentView Quote
"And I can tell you that history will back up what I'm about to say and that is that there is no government run by conservatives, Republicans, put whoever you want there, if you give government the opportunity to spend more money than it has, it will do it. It will do it every time."

-Marco Rubio

historyView Quote
"This is the greatest society in all of human history, the greatest country ever. Many of the decisions being made in Washington today by both parties are threatening that greatness.

-Marco Rubio

homeView Quote
"Conservatism is not about leaving people behind.

And our programs to help them should reflect that."

-Marco Rubio

hopeView Quote
"My mother was one of seven girls whose parents went to bed hungry so their children wouldn't. My father lost his mother when he was nine. He left school and went to work for the next 70 years. They emigrated to America with little more than the hope of a better life."

-Marco Rubio

hopeView Quote
"Hope and Change has become Divide and Conquer."

-Marco Rubio
