Here are two paragraphs extracted from from a New York Times article on possible Republic Presidential nominee Michelle Bachmann.

Bachmann Promises Fast Economic Turnaround With Tax Cuts

Sketching her prescriptions for the economy, Mrs. Bachmann often tells voters that she was one of only a few House Republicans to oppose the debt ceiling agreement this summer. And she draws applause by promising to close the “job-killing” Environmental Protection Agency.

But on Saturday she ventured into less familiar territory, pointing to the example of Ireland: “There are over 600 American companies that have gone to Ireland because of the tax rate,” she said. “Over 100,000 jobs. I want those 100,000 jobs back in the United States.”
