2011 State of the Union address: on Foreign Policy


Michele Bachmann: American exceptionalism: indispensable nation of the world

We need to start making things again in this country, and we can do that by reducing the tax and regulatory burdens on job creators. America will have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. Think about that. Look no further to see why jobs are moving overseas.

I believe that we are in the early days of a history-making turn in America. Congress is responding [to Tea Party voters] and we are just starting to undo the damage that's been done the last few years. Because we believe in lower taxes. We believe in a limited view of government, and exceptionalism in America. And I believe that America is the indispensable nation of the world. Just the creation of this nation itself was a miracle. Who's to say that we can't see a miracle again?

We will push forward. We will proclaim liberty throughout the land. And we will do so because we the people will never give up on this great nation.
