MARCO RUBIO - WE NEED LEADERS TO GROW PAYCHECKS, NOT BILLS

MARCO RUBIO - WE NEED LEADERS TO GROW PAYCHECKS, NOT BILLS MARCO'S MESSAGE TO THE ECONOMIC GROWTH SUMMIT HOSTED BY GOVERNOR RICK SCOTT IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA ON JUNE 2, 2015 TRANSCRIPT 0:01 good morning and I'm sorry I couldn't be with you in person in Orlando today the 0:05 United States Senate is taking up the reauthorization of the Patriot Act 0:08 an important national security issue and that's a vote I could miss 0:12 but I want to begin by banking governor Scott for his leadership to our great 0:16 state 0:17 and also for bringing together Florida's economic leaders to talk about the 0:21 future 0:21 America there's probably no place more appropriate to discuss our future 0:26 than here in the diverse and vibrant state of Florida and so with that in 0:31 mind I'd like to share with you a few thoughts 0:33 and what I believe we can do together to make the 21st century 0:37 a new American Century it's been a little over seven weeks since 0:43 since I began this campaign for president and at virtually every about 0:46 that I do 0:47 all meet someone or see something that reminds me of my parents 0:51 whose life's a journey is the reason that I'm able to appear before you as a 0:55 candidate for president 0:57 my parents work service sector jobs including for many years 1:01 in a hotel just like the one where you gather today my parents never got rich 1:07 but they were successful because just a few years removed from poverty and 1:12 despair 1:13 they achieved a happy life they achieved what has come to be known 1:18 as the American dream but now in this new century we are facing the most 1:23 significant period of change 1:25 since the industrial revolution and yet instead benefiting from the 1:29 opportunities that come with this transformation 1:32 our people are held back by the challenges that it presents 1:36 and this is because well our economy is transforming 1:39 our policies in our leaders are not 1:43 are outdated leaders continued exclaim 1:46 outdated ideas even though our economy is now global 1:51 are outdated leaders continue to tax and regulate our businesses 1:55 as we were still just the national economy and even though technology is 2:00 transforming every industry 2:02 they attempt to bring back all jobs rather than spur the creation 2:07 new ones as a result over the last decade 2:11 the United States has lost over 2:13 179 billion dollars worth american companies 2:16 to other nations just since 2008 2:20 federal regulations and cost our economy 730 billion dollars 2:25 and for the first time in 35 years 2:28 we have more business is dying than we do starting 2:32 so I believe the time has come for a new generation of leaders 2:36 leaders will create a growing economy not a growing government leaders who 2:42 will help increase our families paychecks 2:44 after bills as president I will reform government to spur private-sector 2:50 innovation 2:51 so that week we can arc economies transition 2:54 to the better paying jobs love this new century and I will revolutionize higher 2:59 education 3:00 so that all of our people can acquire the skills they will need 3:04 to fill these new 21st century jobs 3:07 I will allow employers to immediately expense the money they invest in their 3:11 businesses 3:12 so that the more people they hire or the more races they give 3:16 the less they will pay in taxes a lower the corporate tax rate 3:20 so that its competitive with the rest of the developed world if we had done this 3:25 ten years ago 3:26 we would have attracted over five hundred ninety billion dollars worth of 3:29 foreign companies 3:30 and jobs by now instead we've driven billions of dollars worth of our own 3:35 businesses away also work to increase the child tax credit 3:40 so that parents can keep more of what they earn 3:43 and I'll free up our economy so that it can take full advantage 3:48 %uh the new revolution oil and natural gas production 3:51 which will create countless jobs and it will drive down the cost looking for our 3:56 families 3:57 many fewer business leaders and you know what it takes to create jobs 4:01 you know as well as I do that nothing has changed about our businesses 4:06 our people they still have the same 4:09 undiminished capacity to innovate create and produce 4:13 that they had in the last century but we must change now 4:18 is our leaders 4:21 you know despite her many challenges there's no nation on earth I would trade 4:24 places with and I believe we are only one election away 4:28 from a new American Century any ideas I just mentioned are only a small up 4:33 at my planned Asher in that new century a prosperity and opportunity 4:37 if we can make our time one of new ideas 4:41 not old ones a growing economy not a growing government opportunity for all 4:46 not just for a few and we will be well on our way to a new American Century 4:52 working together we will achieve this in our time 4:55 and so I want to thank you again for being at the summit I'm sorry that I 4:59 missed you but I look forward to seeing all of the season 5:02 may God bless all of you a god bless our great state of Florida 5:06 and may God always bless our country the United States of America
