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.
oval reagan revered
Ronald Reagan would never go into the Oval Office without his jacket on - that's how much he revered the presidency.
country people
Rich people in one country don't act the same as rich people in another country.
job
My first job was as a day laborer on the construction of the Long Island Expressway more than 50 years ago.
against ourselves pit position
My connection was we never want to put ourselves in a position as a nation where we pit group against group.
If we can get everybody working or as many as we can, you would be amazed at how many of our problems will disintegrate, go away.
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.
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.
