Try to imagine an America without rich people. Rich people contribute a lot to this country.

I don't believe all rich people are selfless philanthropists.

A lot of so-called rich, according to this legislation, make $250,000. That's a lot of money, but it is not rich.

No, we don't sit around in dark corners and plan strategies on how we're going to slant the news. We don't have to. It comes naturally to most reporters.

I didn't say one negative word about poor people or about middle-class people or anything else. All I said was that the rich deserve our gratitude.

I have met guys who work the overnight shift at 7-11, selling Slurpees and Camels to insomniacs who have more introspection than a lot of people in the mainstream media.
