love
I'm nuts, I'm rich, and boy, do I love a fight!
I'm a stockholder. I own a lot of stocks.
hard
I worked hard to get where I am. And I started with nothing.
pay reduce
I think I should pay more taxes... but everything they take from me should go to reduce the debt.
federal government man means success
I should not get Social Security. I think it's a travesty for a man of my success and of my means to get anything from the federal government.
count learned playing
I learned playing poker that you never count your winnings because that's when you start to lose.
I have, never, ever once, ever gotten anything from any politician I've ever helped. Not one thing.
created invested worked
I have invested in companies. I have worked in companies. We have built companies; we have created jobs.
I don't really know and I don't care what I'm worth.
I don't need a job. I don't want an appointment. I don't want to be on a commission. I don't want to be ambassador to nowhere.
certainly consider supporter work
I consider myself a significant supporter of any candidate I work for, and I am certainly generous, I think, with my own funds.
hired home human minimum paid premium
Home Depot has never hired one human being for minimum wage, not one. We have always paid a premium over minimum wage.

Genes don't mean necessarily that you have got a certain strand of gene that makes you particularly acceptable as a public official.
Dick Grasso would be a superb mayor of the City of New York. He loves the city.
