“Government doesn’t have to be the enemy, but too much government has produced a new kind of inequality in America: opportunity inequality.”

Donald Trump’s views on Vladimir Putin, I think, are troubling. And I don’t think he fundamentally understands exactly who Vladimir Putin is or exactly what he’s trying to do. So, these are the kinds of things that I think in detail you need to begin to understand.

Do not be afraid to offer ideas that draw opposition. Remember, if no one is against your idea, then your idea probably doesn’t do anything.

Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for.

They’re calling me. I’m getting nonstop e-mails and calls now from people that have been scammed by Donald Trump. And their stories are heartbreaking.

I owe a debt to America that I will never be able to repay.

I don’t really like labels in politics, but I will gladly accept the label of conservatism.

The idea that more taxes and more government spending is the best way to help hardworking middle class taxpayers – that’s an old idea that’s failed every time it’s been tried.

[Donald Trump twitts] “Lightweight Marco Rubio was working hard last night.” This is true. “The problem is he’s chalker and once a chalker, always a choker,” I guess that’s what he meant to say. He spelled choker, c-h-o-k-e-r.

National security – the military is the first thing we should spend money on. You have to fully fund that first. And then you should be paying for everything else.

The government can’t change the weather.

Despite our differences, I know that both Republicans and Democrats love America.

Unfortunately, President Obama’s failed policies of new regulations, higher taxes, and Obamacare and his anti-business rhetoric have hit Hispanics especially hard. Big government really hurts those who are trying to make it.

And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again.

We need American foreign policy that tells the world very clearly that it is bad to be our enemy and good to be our friend.

At a time when the American family is threatened as never before, redefining it away from the union of one man and one woman only promises to weaken it as a child-rearing, values-conveying institution.

The way to turn our economy around is not by making rich people poorer, it’s by making poor people richer.

By examining characters lighting the way to hell, as it were, are readers spared iniquity?

You can sense the vast inequalities of Tsarist Russia in [Anton] Chekhov and [Lev] Tolstoy.

And yet the world we live in-its divisions and conflicts, its widening gap between rich and poor

Growing inequality is a huge problem, and of course is intimately connected to xenophobia and racism.

Rising inequality can create a more highly leveraged economy, and it can then make the economy vulnerable to a crash like 2008.

You mean that people who continue virtuous in an old-fashioned way must inevitably suffer in times like these?

Our inequality materializes our upper class, vulgarizes our middle class, brutalizes our lower class.

Employers able to work together with workers and sharing gains and profits will lead to a much better world, getting away from income inequality.
