"That's precisely what makes him so dangerous."
Taylor's voice grew serious.
"He's challenging the very foundation of the United States."
"The principle this country was founded on is a wariness of power, a mistrust of big government."
"We believe in individual effort, in the free market, and in personal responsibility."
"But Leo Wallace is telling people to forget all that, to just hand their fates over to him."
"'I'll give you houses, give you jobs, help you get off drugs, and even help raise your children.'"
"He's trying to build an omnipotent government."
"He's trading freedom for welfare."
"That isn't rebuilding trust. That's buying souls."
"If this way of thinking is allowed to spread, if voters get used to this spoon-fed style of governance…"
"...then the American spirit will die."
"We'll become a nation of giant babies, forever waiting for a dictator like him to hand out candy."
A brief silence fell over the conference room.
