Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina spoke on the absurdities of ObamaCare, the true importance of great education and the independence of thought.
“I believe in the future of America. My opportunity agenda focuses on the American people and not the federal government,” Senator Scott stated.
When wqe are limiting the government, then it empowers the people to start new businesses, instead of raising taxes and having the government dictate areas of exemption or privilege.
A smaller and less intrusive government makes it possible for Americans to succeed, in their “garages, coffee shops” and other uniquely American opportunities.
He emphasized what makes America so great, “our genius emerges from our classrooms, our libraries, or even our chick filet” because you can “think” your way out of poverty.
Senator Scott’s opportunity agenda, “Believes that kids not unions should be the focus of our public education.” He stressed how parents should choose what is in the best interest for their kids.
in his speech at the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, specifically criticizing thecalorie-count requirement.
“We don’t need Obamacare forcing pizza places to tell us how many calories there are in our pizza, do we really want to know?” Scott said. “I’m not sure about you, but I don’t even want to know how many calories are on my pizza. When I eat my Häagen-Dazs ice cream, I want to enjoy those 1,292 calories and all 100 grams of fat in one sitting.”
