I'm looking at a tax process that will allow people to keep more of their money because we know what happens when job creators get to keep more of their money than they're - they have the confidence to go out and spend that money to create jobs that in turn create wealth.

America needs jobs, smaller government, less spending and a president with the courage to offer more than yet another speech.
