opportunity people giving
The estate taxes, on balance, are good. They get people to give money to charity, and they prevent these family dynasties which keep other people from having opportunities. It may be good for a family, but for society it's probably not good. And I've always been in favor of having an estate tax.
giving half want
The problem of dealing with the financial industry is that you can measure it with interest rates coming down. You can measure it with the quantity of loans, and that sort of thing. The problem is, that nobody wants to take the loans. Once the banks are willing to give it, that's only half the problem.
air giving say-anything
When you go to Washington now, you can feel a sense of fear in the air - the fear to do anything, or say anything, that might affect the polls, or give the other side an advantage, or offend a special interest.
organization giving inspire
The truth of the matter is: you can create a great legacy, and inspire others, by giving it to philanthropic organizations.
jobs responsibility giving
Nobody wants a job where they don't have authority to go along with the responsibility. Quite the contrary. The more authority you give people, the better people you can attract, and the harder they're going to work, and the more loyal they are going to be.
believe giving honest
What you've got to do is be honest. Say what you believe. Give it to them straight. Just don't wuss out.

You know, I start with the assumption that -or with, with the belief that this president has to succeed. We all have an enormous amount of capital invested in his success. His success is the country's success.

I have the best job I could possibly have.
I mean, you know, we don't live in a perfect world.
I'm not going to run for president. No way, no how.
character want agree
The public wants elected officials who have character. The public wants elected officials who are willing to stand up and say things, even if they don't agree with them.
school pay results
When it comes to public school education, we have been unwilling to measure our results. We've been unwilling to pay based on performance. We have tenure where, even if you can't teach, you can't get fired. We've been unwilling to invest in new schools.
