I never was interested in politics. I hate talking about it. I hate getting involved in it. Because for me, I've
00:00:05
always just been a guy like, "Leave me alone. Let me do my work. Let me live my
00:00:09
life. I don't want to think about government and politics." But it's
00:00:12
become so prevalent in our lives. It's become something that all of us almost
00:00:15
are forced to discuss. >> Everybody I know who gets lumped into being a right-winger, all they say is,
00:00:22
"I just want to be left alone. I have a property. It's my property. I own it. I
00:00:27
pay taxes on it. I would like to rebuild my property. And the government says, "No, you cannot." And now I have a
00:00:33
problem. And it's getting political, but I don't want it to get political. I just
00:00:37
want to be left alone. I got a niece and she's 5 years old, and I don't want a 9-
00:00:42
foot tall reading her Cat in the Hat at the library. This is avoidable. You can just leave her alone, and you
00:00:48
can leave me alone, and I'll pay my taxes, and I'll be a good neighbor, and
00:00:52
I'll pick up my dog's poop, and we could get on with our lives. But you won't
00:00:55
have it. You have to get involved. And most the people I know who are on my side of the aisle politically and just
00:01:02
sort of emotionally are going, I just want to be left alone. If I want a gas stove, I want a gas stove. If I want a
00:01:08
gas powered truck, I want a gas powered truck. And I would like to be able to rebuild my property using my money and
00:01:15
then pay taxes on that without you getting so involved. So I just like to be left alone.
