My father was a veteran and my mother a schoolteacher. They taught me the value of a good job and an honest day's work.
build company consulting instead job taught teacher
Instead of being a teacher, I got a job with a company called Bain & Co., consulting firm, and they taught me how to build businesses.

I was an international tax specialist. Yeah, I was an international man of mystery and tax specialist.
money
I think we have to look at the whole way campaigns are financed. The No. 1 problem is PAC and special-interest money.
beaten business common enemies global government together unions unite work
I think business, government and unions have to work together, and the common enemies to the global economy. We're being beaten by the global economy, and we've got to unite together to win.
build creates equity great growing private profits shrinking trying wake
We really wake up every day trying to build businesses. That is the goal of private equity. It's a misnomer out there that private equity profits by shrinking companies. In fact, it's just the opposite. Private equity creates value by growing great companies.

Jobs have to be created on the ground, one at a time. This requires detailed plans and specific policies.

Hyperbole has been part of elections since the days of John Adams, and there's nobody better than Joe Biden to give us a little hyperbole, as we all know.
capital diverse firm solve terms
What I like about Bain Capital is that we have Republicans, we have Democrats, we have independents; we are a diverse firm in terms of political views. But what we do is we sit down and we try to solve the problems.

Boston is really a small town, and the pro sports here are almost like a college sport.
My grandfather was a shoemaker who worked in a shoe factory.

My favorite foods are things that aren't great to eat, like pizza.
afford degree economics education pay teacher
I was going to get a degree in economics and be a teacher. But I couldn't afford to pay for the education. So I just got the MBA and not the doctorate. I loved it at Bain, and I've been there ever since.
far great heard love mainly
One place I haven't made it to - mainly because it's so far away - is Australia, so I'd love to go there. I've heard great things about Australia and New Zealand.
