We don't need any troops abroad-they don't help our defense.

We need a smaller and elite military, as [Donald]Rumsfeld said - and also a smaller and elite foreign policy.

If you ever can bring about revolutionary changes, two things would be required: young people would have to be involved and you would need music.

We need to make sure that people can save all the money they spend on medical care by getting it back from their taxes, by reducing their tax burden.
