Mike Lee Quotes on Americans/Politics/Government

The best thing we can do when we want to elevate civil dialogue in our American political discourse is to do whatever we can to make sure we treat others kindly with dignity and respect, and that’s what I intend to do.

Mike Lee

If we were all to chase every squirrel that comes running along in the form of a personal dispute or a mischaracterization of someone, or someone’s integrity or intent, we’d be very busy doing that and not focusing on the government, on that which we need to reform internally.

Mike Lee

The Tea Party has an important voice in the country and now they have a voice in the U.S. Senate

Mike Lee

A lot of people feel left out by a government that taxes too much and regulates them too heavily and seems to result in a set of circumstances where economic and political incumbents benefit at everybody else’s expense.

Mike Lee

The American people want a balanced budget. They want Congress to stop this barbaric practice of perpetual deficit spending. It really, if you think about it, is a form of taxation without representation. We fought a war over that issue and we won that war.

Mike Lee

I don’t want a government shutdown. I don’t think anyone does.

Mike Lee

When you have a country that’s been accustomed to government spending at a certain level, it is really hard to ratchet it back.

Mike Lee

My political views have since I was a kid someway or another reflected the concerns of the Tea Party movement.

Mike Lee

We ought to have more people who believe in constitutionally limited government. We have to have more people come to Congress with that mindset. I think we can make this a better place, if, when elections happen, we support candidates who share that philosophy.

Mike Lee

My purpose is to call on my colleagues, whether they’re Republicans or Democrats, to get behind the agenda of trying to reform the government and make it work for the people rather than the other way around.

Mike Lee

We’ve got tax and regulatory policies in this country that are driving a lot of businesses overseas, and so I think there’s a lot that we can do using principles of constitutionally limited government to help address people who share these concerns.

Mike Lee

You have six of the ten wealthiest counties in America surround Washington, D.C., and the poor and middle class are getting squeezed while people at the top and people with influence in government seem always to be doing better.

Mike Lee

You know, in a business, you have to operate on the basis of voluntary investment by individuals in a cause. With the government, there is no voluntary effort to invest capital. It’s just taken and invested. And the same accountability is not at play. The same natural forces in the economy are not at play.

Mike Lee

It is not nothing to ask someone holding an election certificate in the United States Senate to provide his or her vote.

Mike Lee Quotes on Democracy

I think it’s a big deal, because in many ways, the whole idea of having a constitution itself, particularly a constitution that establishes a constitutional republic like ours, is materially different and distinct from a democracy.

Mike Lee

The idea that majority rule is intrinsically oppressive is necessarily an embrace of anti-democracy

Mike Lee

Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prospefity (sic) are. We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.

Mike Lee

Mike Lee Quotes on Trump/Utahns/Education/IRS

What I am saying is that Donald Trump can still get a lot of votes from a lot of conservatives like me, but I would like some assurances on where he’s going to stand his ground. I’d like some assurances that he’s going to be a vigorous defender of the U.S. Constitution.

Mike Lee

Service is what Utahns do best. It is heartwarming to see so many get involved to help those in need in Tonga.

Mike Lee

Parents should be able to choose where their children go to school. Federal education dollars should follow students. It’s that simple.

The IRS must not become Big Brother. Instead of grabbing even more sensitive data and invading the privacy of Americans, the Biden Administration should work on securing the data they have and investigating political misconduct within the agency.

Mike Lee

From housing to healthcare, gas to groceries, reckless spending and overregulation are making life harder for Utah families. 

Mike Lee

President Donald Trump has been clear that he believes any Biden win will be fraudulent; President Trump has refused to commit to accepting the results of the election or even agreeing to a peaceful transition of power.

Mike Lee

Mike Lee Quotes on Republicans/Democrats/Senate/Court

At any given time, when there is a Republican president, typically we regard that person as the leader of the Republican Party.

Mike Lee

The Senate rightly decided to keep the legislative filibuster. It protects the voice of millions of Americans. It keeps our laws and republic steady. It defends those not in the majority. I am glad to have cast my vote in favor of the rules and against this Democrat power grab.

10 years ago on the floor of the Senate, I said that the world is a better place because of Haven Barlow and that he was a patriot and an example for all Americans to follow. Those words remain true now as I wish Senator Barlow the happiest 100th birthday!

The Constitution is incredibly clear on who makes the laws in this country, it is Congress, not the President, or the Supreme Court.

Mike Lee

At a time when Democrats want to pack the Court, eliminate the Electoral College, and turn the Senate into the House, it is very good that Americans are re-reading The Federalist Papers to rediscover why the founders put these specific republican checks on democratic passion into the Constitution

Mike Lee

Mike Lee

Whether it’s a penalty or a tax, it’s all one in the same. It’s coming out of somebody’s hard-earned money in their pocketbooks and that’s the point. So in some ways, to me, it’s a distinction without a difference.

Mike Lee

The lives of babies and the dignity of women and girls are not political footballs.
