jobs skills people
If you have one farm worker, typically they create three jobs with higher compensation and higher skills - the people that pack, the people that ship, the people that inspect, the people that sell, that sort of thing.
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.
country america people
Look at all of the great strengths of America: entrepreneurialship, work ethic, natural resources, a democracy, a transparency, a willingness to be critical. Around the world, they look at us, and they say, "Why are you criticizing yourself? Why are you people arguing during the political process to elect a president or somebody else?" That's the great strength of this country.
america people decision
What we shouldn't do is let people who want to come here make the decision themselves. America should be in control of its own borders.
jobs school people
We need people from all around the world. We need entrepreneurs, we need students that we're educating in our schools that we then throw out and we should make sure they can stay here. If we don't have the new flux of immigrants, nobody's going to create the jobs for the Americans who are currently out of work.
people risk energy
By speeding the transition to cleaner energy, we can improve the lives of billions of people, while also reducing the risks we face from a changing climate.
people economic
Cities with clean air gain an economic advantage, because where people want to live and work, businesses want to invest.
new-york america people
There's a fascinating statistic: One out of every four people in America has visited New York since 9/11. It is astounding. Now, I don't know how you count it; it's some people coming multiple times.
people trying together
People have no confidence that Washington, both sides of aisle, are coming together to try and do what's right for the economy.
health people use
People use so much more health care when they live longer.
thinking people might
Now, you might say, 'why should we pay people for doing what they're supposed to do?' It's a fair question -- but think of it this way. Every other anti-poverty program that's been tried has failed to get the national poverty rate below 11 percent. Why shouldn't we experiment with a program built around the one strategy that has proven time and again to work wonders -- capitalism?
drinking people smoking
If people are not smoking, they'll probably be drinking more.
people mass-transit fossils
Any friend of fossil is a friend of mine. We've got to do everything we can to get people out of their automobiles and into mass transit.
winning people should
You're going to see a million people here who have the courage to come and not let terrorists win, and that's exactly what we should all do.
