I want all hispanic businesses to move to ohio, okay . And the reason is, in our state state [inaudible] now we have multiple we are really headed into anyway, we have no income tax on virtually all Small Businesses in our state. Here is what the problem is. If you dont have economic growth, then it stunts your ability to reach out to people who do live in the shadows to do creative things. It is just a fact. If mom and dad are in a financial bind, the kids dont do as well. If mom and dad do well the kids do better. The same with a country. What do we need to do . First of all we have a nightmare of regulations. You know what we need is Peoples Court where people are normal folks that can go to say why is government so dumb . Why are you hindering my ability to create jobs . We put all the rules on banks. What were doing is making big banks bigger and killing community and midsized banks. If youre hispanic trying to get a loan, you think youre going to get one where do you think it is
Were going to continue to challenge states to hold universities accountability. Were going to get much more information out to young people and their families to make good choices. We hope theyll go places that are not just serious about creating access, but about completion.

Im not sure you would get a majority of votes in this body for it. I think the vote we had about using military force against the use of chemical weapons against civilians barely got a majority in this committee and likely will not get a majority in the senate or in the house.
