We're going to restructure the state government into a government that's responsive to the needs of New York state taxpayers.

I see a New York where there is no barrier to the God-given potential of every New Yorker. I see a New York where everyone who wants a good job can find one. I see a New York where the people can believe in a grounded government again.

I think the media has been in denial just like the party regulars have been in denial. They just don't understand that the government that we have today is not what the people want as a government.

People want a grounded government. They want a government that's going to be responsible to them.

We are angry about paying the highest income taxes and property taxes in the nation and getting less and less for it. We are angry about our incompetent, dysfunctional government that pays no attention to the desires of the people. We are angry about the cesspool of corruption and conflicts of interests and self-dealing that is Albany.

Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best stage, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.

The instant formal government is abolished, society begins to act. A general association takes place, and common interest produces common security.

To establish any mode to abolish war, however advantageous it might be to Nations, would be to take from such Government the most lucrative of its branches.

Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.

The risk from terrorism remains acute and the private market cannot continue to operate without a government backstop.

Our government just won't enforce civil rights laws. The laws will be ignored.

Government frequently has a problem recognizing perception versus reality.

Families are the tie that reminds us of yesterday, provide strength and support today, and give us hope for tomorrow. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, or well-managed, can provide what our families provide.

Americans no longer look to government for economic security; rather, they look to their portfolios.

Government can't create wealth, but it can create the conditions for private enterprise to flourish.
