It was a campaign that should have never been lost. You're running against a failed president. He came up with the 47 percent. He demeaned 47 percent of the people in our country, right?

The famous 47 percent. Once that was said, I'll be honest, once that was said, a lot of people thought it was over for him.

I would create incentives for people to work. People don't have an incentive. They make more money by sitting there doing nothing than they make if they have a job. We have to create incentives that they actually do much better by working. Right now they have a disincentive. They have an incentive not to work.

The problem we have right now—we have a society that sits back and says we don't have to do anything. Eventually, the 50 percent cannot carry—and it's unfair to them—but cannot carry the other 50 percent.
