The Republican Club of Land O'Lakes hosted Congressman Rich Nugent of the Fifth District of Florida at the Groves Golf and Country Club in Land O’Lakes. Congressman Nugent says that a smaller, more efficient government combined with tax relief for families and small businesses is the key to getting our economy back on track. He has signed on to the Fair Tax Bill and is a strong defender of the Second Amendment. Congressman Nugent supports the House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's "Path to Prosperity," recently passed. “The Federal Government continues to grow and grow†said Nugent recalling Ronald Reagan’s words: "A government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth.""One of the reasons I got into this," he said, "is because of my three sons. My parents provided a better life for their family, a better opportunity for their sons to succeed and I want to do the same for mine by giving our economy the tools to start moving again." Speaking like a man who spend much of his adult life in law enforcement Nugent said, "At this point, it's like a hostage situation, the House GOP leadership must bring its negotiators and its SWAT team and unlike the last time, offer no hints about what's off the tableâ€. "When you give the orders to kick down the door you have to understand there are things outside our control" he said, “but we cannot fail to face these issues head on and offer real solutions to get to solve them.
