I'm not a sociologist, I'm not a political scientist, but I'm a fairly intuitive person.

You lower the [tax] rate, you will motivate and incentivize more people to put more capital at risk to create more jobs.

You get growth in the United States, the rest of the world will grow.

You don't want the United States to become South America, where you have a super collection of rich people at the tippy-top of society, they are surrounded by barbed wire living in McMansions with security guards, and the rest of the society is suffering, and you've got a broken educational system and a broken government.

I'm more of an empiricist. I'm focused on right or wrong, as opposed to left or right.

You have to take calculated risks in life.

I want the American people to focus on is that we can generate a tremendous amount of energy revenues as result of new taxes coming off of the energy that's underneath the ground here in the United States.
