On economic policy, my support of smaller government, lower taxes and economic reform is consistent with the mainstream of the Republican Party in the United States and with many Democrats as well.

After 20 years in Congress, I still believe that smaller government and lower taxes are the most effective economic policies.

What we won't become is a 'Democratic Party lite!' We are a party that wants smaller government and lower taxes. Obama and the Democrats do not. We are a party that wants to encourage small business. We are a party that has a large constituent group that believes in a social agenda and we will not abandon them.

No one should be confused that in fact the Republican party continues to stand for lower taxes for all Americans,

Less government, less regulation, lower taxes.

It is clear that United States immigration policy is badly in need of reform.
