Steve Forbes Washington Quotations

Especially after what we've had in Washington for seven years, I think people want to get to know their candidates, ... They don't want surprises after the election.

New Hampshire is unique in that all the presidential candidates come here because of your first-in-the-nation status. If we can get New Hampshire on board, all the candidates will be asked about this concept repeatedly. If we leave Washington to its own devices, nothing will happen.

This is the real message to send to the Washington power brokers. Thanks to you they have finally met their match and they're going to get their ultimate comeuppance in the race in the weeks ahead as we the people take back the power.

We must encourage American businesses and farmers by weeding out the excessive red tape that Washington has been creating over the past decade. Regulations act as a hidden tax, and if we are not careful, they can begin to suffocate small businesses, destroy jobs, and choke off economic growth.
