Marco Rubio

We live in a society obsessed with public opinion. But leadership has never been about popularity.

From tea parties to the election in Massachusetts, we are witnessing the single greatest political pushback in American history.

The vast majority of a significant portion of Americans of Hispanic descent will vote - happen to be working class people who are desperate to not only achieve the American dream but leave their kids better off than themselves.

I feel bad for the kids that are in school right now and the young people all across America who don't realize that the grownups who are supposed to be running this country are the verge of leaving them as the first generation of Americans worse off than the generation before.

There is a role for government, but no matter how much money the government spends, it will never be able to take the place of parents and strong families.

People end up fleeing countries who adopt economic policies based on these flawed principles. And more often than not, they come here.

One way to make health care more affordable is a Flexible Savings Account that allows families to save tax free money to pay for medical bills.

When you talk about entitlement programs, it's not just about - it's not about cutting those programs. It is about saving those programs. Those programs are on a path of fiscal unsustainability.

You cannot go to someone who is 65 or 70 years of age and tell 'em, 'This program that you retired relying on is now being pulled out from underneath you.'

We need transparency in government spending. We need to put each government expenditure online so every Floridian can see where their tax money is being spent.

It's impossible to walk a block in Miami, in Los Angeles, San Antonio without running into someone who is being deeply impacted by a broken legal immigration system.

People are frustrated. This is the most generous country in the world when it comes to immigration. There are a million people a year who legally immigrate to the United States, and people feel like we're being taken advantage of. We feel like despite our generosity, we're being taken advantage of.
