He's been playing well it is certainly call the opportunities -- -- vs the dependency society.
And what Tucson Wednesday night was when the opportunity society takes the stage with a -- tendencies -- it.
The opportunities aside and -- Terrific heat in Florida half part of congressman -- west rally in the crowd at eight Romney campaign event well there's no doubt about it Florida is -- big battleground state and congressman west is going to battle for governor Romney joins is nice to see -- there.
-- -- -- be with regret it.
I'm curious sir no sir that the -- cited verses of dependency society are you saying that president Obama's voters don't want jobs.
-- I'm not saying to President Obama voters don't want jobs of course everyone wants jobs I'm talking about the policies between.
The Obama administration what Mitt Romney is offering.
When you look at what happened -- saint Lucie county when governor Romney was there on Sunday.
Yet close to 161000 people that was there they would there coming from a county here there has almost a 13% unemployment rate.
They don't want to be part of a dependency society they want people that are going to create the right type of tax -- -- policies.
Access the capital policies that will allow our small businesses to get back to being open and also to return -- production manufactured to this country.
They don't want to see the policies to continue to go from.
26 weeks of unemployment benefits up to nine in nine weeks they don't want to be part of a society.
It goes from 32 million Americans on food stamps to 47 million Americans.
They don't want to be part of the society.
That is going to not point three million more Americans on poverty.
That's what the dependency society gives you and plus with that the expense of of the federal government.
You get sixty trillion dollars of debt you get four straight years of trillion dollar plus deficits we have to move away from that.
I suspected President Obama or here he would say that what he has done is to give people opportunity that you need answered jumpstart -- we need to give a little help every once in -- Just to get -- jump start it.
-- how do you answer him that led to that remark.
I would say Mr.
President you gave us some.
800 to -- -- billion dollars of stimulus package.
First of all you say -- that unemployment would never go above 8%.
It -- today percent to 43 or -- 43 straight months.
And -- still you say the right now unemployment would be somewhere between five point 8% to 6%.
So you have a jump started anything as a matter fact.
All you do wish you wasted almost a trillion dollars of American taxpayer money.
And you continue to see yourself as a venture capitalists by use an American taxpayer money for failed to companies that you want to to try to pick.
Based upon your own policies.
This is about taken our tax code and taking these tax rates and bringing them down so that we can infuse capital into the pockets of the job creators and not to from doors.
This is about look into the trillions of dollars of capital is sitting offshore.
And bring -- back capital back onshore by allowing the repatriation.
This is about look at our corporate business tax rate in lowered it.
And with those things we have to lower those exemptions and deductions.
I think that we have to look at keep in the mortgage interest deduction may be charitable contributions so we can continue to have a benevolent a group of Americans that could take care of others.
But everything about president Obama's vision.
His philosophy of governance and his policies have failed so be happy to have a chat with the president on what you just talked about.
Identity in back to Nashville and have that they're -- vice president -- debate and I'm curious what you want to hear.
But vice presidential -- upon a kind candidate Paul Ryan say about Medicare and light of the fact that you have a lot of Medicare recipients in Florida.
All I'll want to up all right -- -- and tell the truth.
I want Paul arrived to say that they -- -- of Medicare Social Security say it that it's what it's -- for Medicare goes bankrupt.
And -- nobody can sit up and try to criticize Paul Ryan but to do nothing means that we lose Medicare program for our seniors right now.
We have a proposal that is on the table that will protect and preserve Medicare and want to face look at just last week we have a new mandate.
The came down from the Affordable Care Act.
This says that seniors if they -- back to a hospital within thirty days of a visit the hospital will receive a fine.
I don't think those are the type of policy is gonna help Medicare those are not the type of policy is gonna help our seniors and take -- some -- of the sixteen billion dollars out of Medicare.
Five -- seventy billion impart a two -- 47 billion in part be.
That's not what our seniors -- here's South Florida want and they're definitely afraid about the reimbursement rates that are being lowered.
And doctors -- look taken them off for the Medicare coverage so far -- just -- to talk about the facts who watched Joseph Biden run thus during.
Like rats off the Titanic.
I've been thank you -- are.
Always a pleasure good.
Coming up did -- pro Obama.
