Ted Cruz at the South Carolina Freedom Summit

nndb why the great state of South Carolina nndb

so is this the ready for Hillary rally dnmt look I think the men and women here are more than ready for Hillary what

a blessing nnj to be with so many incredible patriots on this day you

know couple years ago Heidi and I had our girls Caroline and Catherine up in Washington one fall we

driving down the George Washington parkway one of those crisp fall days where you can smell the autumn in the air our

our seven year old is a rascal nnj it Soundgarden ator from the day she came into this world and how she will

in her car seat behind me in the truck kicking the back of my seat like she usually does and our girl start have a conversation and

want to work in the United States nnj I want to work with Daddy and Caroline says all that's boring she

says we're going to be rock stars and then she tosses out zinger he says besides that he'll be dead by then dnmt

but this is a real conversation I got I kinda wondered if maybe Caroline had been speaking with Republican leadership dnmt

maybe he knew something I didn't know you know the reason so many of us are here and this great gathering because

we love our kids nnj we love our grand kids and this nation

isn't this is not a typical time in politics where at the and a press I don't think we've hit the point of no return yet but it

is close it's now or never we either pull this country back or we risk losing the greatest country in history you

know today for the first time in history a majority of Americans believe that our kids we'll have a worse life than we did sixty

five percent that his never been true in the history of America until this instant right now maybe

the most unamerican idea you can imagine I think the central issue in twenty sixty is

going to be we will reignite the promise of America how do we get back to that fundamental

American ideal that our kids will have a better life than we did and their kids will have a better life than they I'm

reignite promise of America number one bring back jobs and growth and

opportunity the men and women here understand because it affects every time we go down this path of out of control spending and taxes and regulation what

results is stagnation in misery and malaise doesn't work on the other hand the two levers government has to

unleash small businesses and job creation our tax reform and regulatory reform every

the nineteen sixties by the nineteen eighties tax reform well right now spend about five hundred billion dollars a year on

tax compliance a lawyer is an account that's all wasted that's about the budget of our entire military the
