Haters are sometimes people who can't understand why everybody loves you.

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

We live in a society that is based on 30-second sound bites. We have technology that puts all of the information of humankind at our fingertips, but we have the attention span of a three-year-old at a carnival midway on the Fourth of July. We throw around a lot of words like democracy, federal, republic, nationalist, socialist, liberal, and right-wing—but do we really know what they mean?

To be real successful, you must decide exactly what you want to accomplish; then resolve to pay the price to get it.

Why are so many very smart people not also rich? I guess they are too busy calculating risks rather than getting into action.

Capitalism without Bankruptcy is like Catholicism without Hell.

Bankruptcy cleans out the system. What’s wrong with that? South Korea went through this in the late 1990s. They didn’t have anyone to bail them out, and they had to go through the pain. Sweden did it in the early 1990s. Mexico did it. Russia did it. The list goes on and on. Competent people take over the assets from incompetent people and rebuild from a solid base. Business has always been survival of the fittest and Darwinism at its best. After all, this is what capitalism is all about.

The question is not whether we should or should not regulate; it is how much should we regulate and who the regulators should be. We went overboard on deregulation under Reagan. Under Bush, many people lost in the casino. Now we have the Obama administration overreacting and overreaching with regulation that does the exact opposite of wealth creation. If we are to have change we can believe in, then we could start by replacing the majority of the lawyers in regulatory agencies with actual experienced, successful business veterans. They would have recognized the early warning signs of many of the financial debacles created by the bubble-bust cycle.

Dodd-Frank is the most restrictive financial regulation since the Great Depression—but it won’t stop another bubble.

Look how many of our young are ill prepared to enter adult life today. This was designed by progressives to create government dependency.

History clearly shows that governments that have tried to contain, regulate, or otherwise usurp capital have failed. It is the same with brainpower; no one has a monopoly on brainpower. Controlling brainpower is like herding cats. Brainpower creates capital, and capital fuels brainpower. It is a fundamental dynamic principle. Great ideas, solutions, insights, or inventions will develop only where they are nurtured and properly rewarded.

Difference between rich and wealthy? Wall Street bankers are rich but they are no wealthy.Wealthy people are the ones writing their checks.
