If we were to lose, if Democrats were to gain control of our state, that surplus would disappear overnight. Take a look at Minnesota Scarlet and it's instructive. It was just a couple years ago. I think [Minnesota's] surplus was like $17 billion. Huge surplus. It's gone in Minnesota and they raise taxes on top of it. So yeah, that surplus can be wiped out fast. I promise the people of the state of Wisconsin we're gonna have fiscal responsibility and we're gonna return money to the taxpayers because it's part of a strong family's agenda. (09:19–09:29)
