I believe wealth should be in the hands of those who know how to create more wealth.

The essence of business to me is great people run great companies. Mediocre people don't do a very good job.

The job creators are members of America's vast middle class and the poor, whose purchases cause businesses to expand and invest.

I have been very fortunate to be successful in business, and I believe that it is right that people who have this type of wealth should give something back into society.

I look at building business as a creative process that I enjoy.

We'll look after the people who create jobs and business and give them that opportunity to grow in the time ahead.

Companies that grow create wealth. This, in turn, allows people to have jobs that create more growth and more wealth. It's a virtuous cycle.

Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs did not start out wealthy, and actually added to income inequality, but we all benefit from their creative effort.

When it comes right down to it, whatever business you're in, you're in the people business. After all, people prefer to do business with people and companies they find likeable.

The greatest job creation is driven by entrepreneurs and young businesses, so they merit special attention.
