Rand Paul Delivers Tea Party Response to SOTU – “Obama Believes Government Is the Solution” (Video)

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) spoke out on behalf of conservative values last night in his response to President Obama’s SOTU address. The popular Kentucky Senator attacked both political parties for excessive spending. He was particularly hard on big spending Obama.

“What America needs is not Robin Hood but Adam Smith.”

Rand Paul warned about Barack Obama’s dangerous economic plans.

We are in danger, though, of forgetting what made us great. The President seems to think the country can continue to borrow $50,000 per second. The President believes that we should just squeeze more money out of those who are working.

The path we are on is not sustainable, but few in Congress or in this Administration seem to recognize that their actions are endangering the prosperity of this great nation.

Ronald Reagan said, government is not the answer to the problem, government is the problem.

Tonight, the President told the nation he disagrees. President Obama believes government is the solution: More government, more taxes, more debt.

What the President fails to grasp is that the American system that rewards hard work is what made America so prosperous.

What America needs is not Robin Hood but Adam Smith. In the year we won our independence, Adam Smith described what creates the Wealth of Nations.

He described a limited government that largely did not interfere with individuals and their pursuit of happiness.

All that we are, all that we wish to be is now threatened by the notion that you can have something for nothing
, that you can have your cake and eat it too, that you can spend a trillion dollars every year that you don’t have.
