Don't look at it simply in terms of a great group of selfish people, money grubbing, not wanting to help other people.

So as we look at America at this Christmas season, I think rather than apologizing for our great, strong private enterprise economy, we should recognize that we are very fortunate to have it.

It is a fraud on the people to tell them, 'We are going to pass laws that are going to raise your standards of living,' unless we have this robust, strong, private enterprise economy of ours, which is the wonder of the world.
