The whole tax code should be looked at, all the way from farm subsidies to carried interest to - to corporate loopholes, because we really need to raise more revenue.
From Stephen Pagliuca
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.
We need someone in Washington who knows how to build jobs from the ground up.
I'm not for a temporary war tax. We're putting actual dollars in one way or the other, and so if we're gonna look at taxes, we ought to look at a comprehensive tax reform policy.
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 think we have to look at the whole way campaigns are financed. The No. 1 problem is PAC and special-interest money.
I've probably done more venture capital deals and expansion financings than I have done private equity deals. But both are the same. Private equity companies have also built jobs.
To me it's incontrovertible that investment in people, investment in business, creates jobs; they don't destroy jobs.
My favorite foods are things that aren't great to eat, like pizza.
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.
