“I've got bills to pay like everyone else. I'm a high-earner but I don't see myself as rich. I know in some people's eyes I probably am, but I will always have to work. My son Matt asked me if we were rich the other day and I told him that in my view, being rich is not having to get up to go to work. I can't see myself ever being in that position.” PeopleIfsKnowsI CanEyeViewsPayRichPositionSonBillsGet UpMy SonBeing RichBills To Pay Author:Steve McFadden
“Once again, the vice president has acknowledged that he dares to follow where Bill Bradley has boldly led. ...

“An attitudinal sea change. I think that's the hardest one to fix. Presidential directives, bills, provisions can all be rescinded, repealed, amended, but attitudes linger.

“Bill Clinton gives the appearance of taking stands-for some sort of tax cut, some sort of welfare reform, some sort of balanced budget-but these are ploys, mirages: they exist only to undermine positions taken by the Republicans.
