In the last recession, 99 percent of us have lost wealth, but did you know that the top 1 percent increased their wealth five times? It tells you they create recessions so they get wealthier.
I'm the only person in the world that, when he holds down two jobs, gets criticized for it; everyone else gets a pat on the back and say, 'What an entrepreneuring, hardworking person,' but apparently that doesn't apply to me.
I live in Mexico in the wintertime, and I live off the grid down there.
I don't want to live in a country that lies can prevail in court. Where you can walk into a courtroom and fabricate a story and then have appellate court judges uphold it after a jury has made a decision.
I like surfing in Mexico a whole lot better than sitting with people in Washington that I don't even like.
I have every right to know how my taxes are spent, how every single penny of it is spent. I have the right to know that.
I never thought I'd be investigating global warming. I believe it's real and that saving the planet is good.
The media doesn't educate anyone.
I find that the history books that we teach our kids with are not fully truthful, in my opinion.
Government is connected to everything we do.
I don't oppose hunting in any way, shape or form. If that's what you enjoy doing, you are free to do it.
We got victims out there that are getting shot four and five times, point blank range. That's not self-defense. You're not going to tell me that's self-defense.
I decided to run for governor because I got mad... I want to make government more directly accountable to the people.
I believe that the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin are two of the greatest rock bands ever!
