A Quote by Mitt Romney
I spent my whole life in the private sector, 25 years in the private sector. I understand that when government takes more money out of the hands of people, it makes it more difficult for them to buy things. If they can't buy things, the economy doesn't grow. If the economy doesn't grow, we don't put Americans to work.

And, by the way, that money isn't the government's money; it's the people's money.
Republican leaders have made clear they have no plans to use the power of government to stimulate the economy, invest in job creation and spur job growth.
