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.
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.
I don't really know and I don't care what I'm worth.

I have invested in companies. I have worked in companies. We have built companies; we have created jobs.
I have, never, ever once, ever gotten anything from any politician I've ever helped. Not one thing.

I'm a stockholder. I own a lot of stocks.
