My four years in the Marine Corps left me with an indelible understanding of the value of leadership skills.

I do not believe I could have built FedEx without the skills I learned from the Marine Corps.

The tax rate of 35 percent is impossible to provide an incentive to the large corporations, that have $1.7 trillion offshore, to put their money back in the United States.

Beginning in 1973 and then acts in '77, '78, 1980, 1994 and then into the 21st century in the international arena, governments have steadily gotten out of the transportation business.

A lot of the economy is indeed being supplied by goods that are produced offshore. And much of the reason for that is societal.

Leadership is simply the ability of an individual to coalesce the efforts of other individuals toward achieving common goals. It boils down to looking after your people and ensuring that, from top to bottom, everyone feels part of the team.

I’m not afraid to take a swing and miss.
