Speeches at CPAC (2020s): on Corporations


Donald Trump: No more estate tax on small farms, small business

And, by the way, speaking of farmers, something they don't know but they're learning fast: No more estate tax on your small farm, small businesses, small other things. No more estate tax. People don't talk about it. It's a big thing--big provision. Big provision. If you love your children, it's great. If you don't love your children, it's irrelevant. Don't leave the money to them. No more estate tax or, as we call it, "death tax."

Josh Hawley: I would start by breaking up the big tech corporations

We're facing a fight for the republic itself. We are facing an unprecedented alliance of radical liberals, and the biggest, most powerful corporations in the history of the world. Google, Facebook, Twitter. These companies have more power than any companies in American history, and they're aligned with the radical left to try to impose their agenda on this country. They want to run this country, and if we don't do something, they are going to. We've got a word for that. It's called oligarchy.

No more rule by oligarchs. Rule by the people, that's what we've got to do. I would start by breaking up the big tech corporations. Just break them up. Break them up in the name of the rule of the people. For the good of the American people and our liberty, we need to break those corporations up and cut them down to size. You know what? The Republican Party, once upon a time, we were the party of trustbusters. I mean, we invented the concept, basically. It's time to reclaim that legacy.
