Sarah Palin at Restoring America in Indianola

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin spoke at the Tea Party's Restoring America rally in Indianola Saturday. http://www.desmoinesvideos.com/palin.html In her speech, she lays out a plan... "I wanna tell you what my plan is. My plan is a bona fide pro-workin' man's plan. And it deals in reality. It deals in the way that the world really works. Because we must talk about what really works in order to get America back to work. My plan is about empowerment. Empowerment of our states. Empowerment of our entrepreneurs. Most importantly, empowerment of you, our hard-working individuals. Because I have faith, I have trust, I have respect for you. 1. The way forward is no more politics as usual. We must stop expanding an out-of-control and out-of-touch federal government. This is first. All power not specifically delegated to the federal government by our Constitution is reserved for the states and for We the People. So let's enforce the Tenth Amendment. Devolve powers back locally, where the founders intended them to be. 2. We must repeal Obamacare and reign in burdensome regulations that are abood on our neck. Get government out of the way. Let the private sector breathe and grow. This will allow the confidence that businesses need in order to expand and hire more people. 3. No more run-away debt. We must prioritize and cut. Cancel unused stimulus funds and have that come-to-Jesus moment where we own up to the debt challenge that is entitlement reform. See, the reality is we will have entitlement reform; it's just a matter of how we're going to get there. We either do it ourselves or the world capital markets...they're gonna shove it down our throats and we'll have no choice but to reform our entitlement programs. The status-quo is no longer an option. Entitlement reform is our duty now, and it must be done in a way that honors our commitment to our esteemed elders today while keeping faith with future generations. 4. It is time for America to become the energy superpower. The real stimulus that we've been waiting for is robust and responsible domestic energy production. We have the resources. Affordable secure energy is the key to any thriving economy and it must be our foundation. So I would do the opposite of Obama's manipulation of US supplies of energy. Drill here. Drill now. Let the refineries and the pipelines be built. Stop cow-towing to foreign countries and dictators, asking them to ramp up production and industry for us, promising them that, oh, we'll be their greatest customer. No, not when we have the resources here. We need to move on tapping our own God-given natural resources that are part of our reserves. I promise you this will bring us real job growth, not the politicians phony green jobs, fairy-dust sprinkled with wishes and glitter and the...no, but a hard core, all-of-the-above energy policy that builds this indestructible link between made-in-America energy and our prosperity and our security. 5. We can and we will make American the most attractive country on earth to do business in. Here's how we're gonna do this. Right now we have the highest federal corporate tax rate in the industrialized world. Did you our rates are higher than China and Communist Cuba? This doesn't generate as much money as you would think, though, because many big corporations, they skirt federal taxes because they have the friends in DC who write the rules for the rest of us. This makes us less competitive and restrains the engine of prosperity. Heck, some businesses, they spend more time trying to figure out how to hide their profits than they do in generating more profits so that they can expand and hire more of us. So to make America the most attractive and competitive place to do business, to set up shop here and hire people here, to attract capital from all over the globe that will lead to an explosion of growth instead of chasing industry offshore. I propose to eliminate all federal corporate income tax. And here me out on this. This is how we create millions of high paying jobs. This is how we increase opportunity and prosperity for all. But here's the best part. To balance out any loss of federal revenue from this tax cut, we eliminate corporate welfare and all the loopholes and we eliminate bailouts."
