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.
fighting opportunity growth
Fighting climate change isn't just an obligation we owe to future generations. It's also an opportunity to improve public health - and drive economic growth - in the here and now.
real opportunity differences
Most people won't have opportunity to do full-time service, but those lucky enough to have monetary wealth or some spare time really can make an enormous difference. As someone who's now in the public sector, and is seeing up-close-and-personal the real impact of what we do and what we give, I can tell you: every dollar and every volunteer help, in more ways than you can count.

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.
country daughter cities
I have two daughters that are the loves of my life and I want to leave them a better world, a better country, a better state and a better city.
