Keep it simple. Get rid of regulations. That pretty much sums up what Jesse Kelly said in the debate and what he's been saying throughout the campaign. Most Republican politicians seem to agree.
Ask Kelly about Rosemont mine and he says we should dig the copper out of the ground. That's how you create jobs and make profits. Energy? Same thing. Dig up the coal and pump out the oil. Immigration? Build a double fence — problem solved. Health care? Let people shop for it online like GEICO. More jobs? Dig up that coal and pump out that oil, and there'll be plenty of high paying jobs for everyone.
It's so simple, even a child can understand.
Government policy that's complicated is bad according to Republicans. If you can't understand it, there's something wrong with it. The tax code is too complicated, so let's make it simple. A flat tax. Everyone can understand that. Should we have a graduated flat tax where the rate goes up as your income increases? BAD! TOO COMPLICATED! THE SAME RATE FOR EVERYBODY!
And speaking of simple, let's get rid of all those complicated regulations. People and businesses should be free to make their own choices without the government telling them what to do. That's what this great country is all about.
I think we should keep plane flight nice and simple, without all those complicated jet engines. Who can understand those things? The maintenance manual alone is 5,000 pages long! Complicated is bad. Simple is good. Let's have people on the runway wind up the propellers to tighten the rubber bands inside the wings, then off we go. That I can understand.
And the government shouldn't be telling pilots how to land their planes. What happened to pilots' freedoms? Do you have any idea how much fuel is wasted just because some bureaucrat tells pilots to fly around in circles instead of letting pilots do what they do best? Get the government air traffic controllers off the pilots' backs! Let the free market decide when and where a plane lands.
The world would be so much simpler if we just let Republicans take care of things.
