Quote

Most people work for the private sector, which cannot exist without profit.

I can be the most skilled person in the world, but if everyone else at my firm lacks skills, my employer is going to find it more difficult to introduce new technology, new production techniques. So as a result, my employer is going to be less productive. They will not be able to afford to pay me as good wages.

When you have a large amount of the workforce being laid off, some of them have no other choice but to go out there and invent something.

The employers who do best are employers who reject these false choices. It's not a zero-sum world where you either take care of your workers or you take care of your shareholders. You can do good and do well, too.

Nationalized industries are notorious for their inability to operate at a profit.

It is U.S. workers who lose out when employers cannot get the high-tech graduates they need to compete with foreign companies in the 21st century economy.

No industry is immune and no occupation is safe. All of us need to begin to think in terms of our own inner strengths, our resilience and resourcefulness, our capacity to adapt and to rely upon ourselves and our families.

The government does not and cannot create jobs. Only entrepreneurs do.

Only with the tools of production in their own hands could the workers ever hope to control their own lives and receive the fruits of their labor.

It might be said that it is the ideal of the employer to have production without employees and the ideal of the employee is to have income without work.
