Sen. Marco Rubio Delivers Weekly GOP Address On The Promise Of America

hello I'm Marco Rubio senator from Florida right now all eyes are focused on my home state ahead of next week's Republican presidential primary it's

an exciting contests and I know that passions are high so I want to take a moment to explain the rest of the country why

Republicans in Florida are so excited about this primary because we believe our countries in big trouble as you know earlier this week president Obama delivered his fourth annual address to Congress was

this president inherited a significant national debt but over the last three years he's made it worse our national debt has grown by nearly fifty percent since he took over and

now for the first time since World War two our national debt is larger that our country's economy yes this president inherited an economy where unemployment was too high but

over the last three years has made it worse today our unemployment rate is higher than the day he took office in fact since he took over it's

been stuck at over eight percent every single month this president didn't talk about his record for one simple reason he

doesn't want to know about but you do know about it because you feel a failure of his leadership every single day of your life the bottom line is this president inherited a country was serious problem he

asked the Congress to give him the stimulus and obamacare to fix it the Democrats in Congress gave it to him and I didn't work it

made everything worse president Obama has a year left in the White House so what are his plans now to make things better what does he plan to do now that

to raise our bosses taxes he tells those who are hurting that the only way they can be better off is for others to be worse off he

tells all of us at the only way for some of us to climb up the economic ladder for others to be pulled down this

the viscera direct this effort to gain political support by convincing some that they will be better off if we punish others the

stuff never worked anywhere it's been tried people on the fleeing countries to adopt economic policies based on these flawed principles and

more often than not they come here they come here because this is not who we are Americans have always believed that all of us can succeed and

those who are trying to make we have a real chance to join this is what has made us differ this is what has made us prosperous this

economic heritage to become like the country's people come here to get away from become like everybody else yes people are hurting yes

there is a growing gap between the rich and the poor but the way to solve it is not to embrace the trickle up poverty economics of other nations the

way to solve it is to embrace the American free enterprise system but no economic system is perfect but the American free enterprise system is empower millions of people in the past I

know because I saw it with my own eyes my father was a bartender and I thank god every night that there was someone willing to risk their money to

build a hotel on Miami beach and later in Las Vegas we can work I thank god that was enough prosperity in America so

people could go on vacation to Miami or Los Vegas where people felt prosperous enough to have weddings are bar mitzvahs and

by the way Khalif tips and my dad's little tip jar because without money he raised us and he gave me the opportunity to do things he

I went to a public school system that's an important role for government to play and so I also thank god that we had an economy prosperous and I to

afford to pay for these things as well so I'll just close by saying I hope this year will be the beginning of our work towards
