“It's all about the ripple effects of “wealth creation”. What comes after you make it matters much more than before.”

“This nation was founded on the principle of wealth creation. Asa young Henry Clay said in the House of Representatives in 1812,“It [wealth creation] is a passion as unconquerable as any with whichnature has endowed us. You may attempt to regulate—you cannotdestroy it.” That is supposed to be the federal government’s primary objective.It is supposed to promote the creation of an environment conduciveto the creation of wealth—not job creation, not bailouts, not subsidies,not expansion of the federal bureaucracy, and not providing lifetimesupport to those who choose not to take advantage of the innumerableopportunities that exist in this nation for them to create a better,more productive life for themselves.”

“I believe the crisis started when we started prioritizing redistribution of wealth instead of its creation.”

“You can't be for big government, big taxes, and big bureaucracy and still be for wealth creation”

“Wealth creation is not a business suited to those whose skill setconsists of voting “present.” It requires decision making, risk taking,hard information, discipline, insight, and intelligence.”

“Wealth creation is not a mathematical formula, as the truthseekingquant geeks still want everyone to believe. In the end, theirlack of real-world experience and pride corrupted their mathematicalgenius and destroyed them. You may be able to digitize a daVinci,but that does not make it daVinci. Creating wealth is personal. It iscreating assets, creating value, or whatever act of self-perpetuation thatdrives us to create a legacy.”

“Talent attracts capital more effectively than capital attracts talent.”
