I try to motivate people and align our individual incentives with organizational incentives. And then let people do their best.

I like the idea of helping people help people.

I believe that we should allow younger workers to contribute toward a personal account that they own, as long as it is coupled with deficit reduction measures that enhance the long-term condition of Social Security.

My work in government has flowed from the fundamental idea of personal empowerment. It's about giving people the tools they need to pave their own way.

I support voluntary personal retirement accounts for Social Security. It should be people's free choice.

I get to deal with presidents and prime ministers and - and employees from tellers on up. And I love it.

I like the idea of not everything happening between two human beings to be everyone's property.

My purpose is to keep people busy and out of mischief - to create good and interesting jobs for them that help families stay together.

Our job is to make people free.

I favor the abolition of all Social Security, Medicare and estate taxes. In their place, we should create a simple income tax system that has no deductions or credits at all.
