Anything that strengthens the private sector vs. the state is protective of personal freedom.
My problem with public sector union leaders, the bosses, has been they stood in the way of protecting the taxpayer.
Well that's a bit of a question like saying, what have you learned in life that would help you lead? My whole life has been learning to lead, from my parents, to my education, to the experience I had in the private sector, to helping run the Olympics, and then of course helping guide a state. Those experiences in totality have given me an understanding of how America works and how the economy works.
When you've got a economy in which 40 percent of economic growth is happening in the financial sector, that turns out that was all an illusion, that it wasn't growth based on real products and services, but just a bunch of paper shuffling and a house of cards, then what's gonna emerge, at some point, is a sense of resentment, a sense that the system's rigged, and it's not working for ordinary people. And it's not fulfilling the basic American dream.
For an investor who is sitting in the United States, and South Africa is very far from the United States, you need to go out to that investor to say, these are the possibilities in this particular sector.
Obama is from this group that resents the private sector, resents the capitalistic means of production.
I decided at the outset to invest in a fairly broad range of businesses, as I didn't want to get pigeonholed into one sector.

The aging of the U. S. population is a theme that we believe strongly in and the health care sector is really right in the bulls eye of this particular theme.
As you know, I spent 30 years of my life in the private sector.
It's always been government's role to protect the security of the nation. And cyber-attacks is a security issue, from our perspective. And it's a security issue of particular concern with respect to the nation's core critical infrastructure, the infrastructure everyone relies on, the energy sector, the telecommunications sector, the banking sector.
Perhaps the most striking feature of the [nonprofit] sector is its relative freedom from constraints and its resulting pluralism.
Again, the American people expect us to do what they are doing. It's tightening the belt, it's learning how to do more with less. That's a reality today, and we've got to do that in order to get the private sector growing.
I've always been progressive on social issues: pro-choice, pro-gun control, and pro-gay rights - even when I was a Republican. The big difference is that I once believed the private sector would address America's social problems. But then I saw firsthand that this wasn't going to happen.
We don't measure our people's success in how they're doing in government. We measure how they are doing in the real world and the private sector economy.
The economic welfare of all our people must ultimately stem not from government programs, but from the wealth created by a vigorous private sector.
Renewable energy also creates more jobs than other sources of energy - most of these will be created in the struggling manufacturing sector, which will pioneer the new energy future by investment that allows manufacturers to retool and adopt new technologies and methods.
It was a new kind of class war -- the people as citizens versus the politicians and their clients in the public sector.
I ran for Congress not because I was having a mid-life crisis. I left the private sector because I saw a looming financial crisis that was coming to this country. It's unsustainable.
