It will create tremendous numbers of new jobs. But regulations, you are going to regulate these businesses out of existence. … The things that business as in people like the most is the fact that I'm cutting regulation.

I'm going to cut regulations. I'm going to cut taxes big league, and you're going to raise taxes big league, end of story.”
