I believe that capitalism is what really distinguishes America.

And sure, there's bad parts of capitalism, but there's so many good parts.

And if we can encourage more people to participate, just everybody's going to do better.

I went into the retail business and I did that.

because I had a professor at school.

He says, if you want to be successful in retail, pick something no one's retailing.

Yeah, that's good.

Which made sense.

So I went into auto, aircraft, and marine paints, selling the paints.

And we retailed it like a supermarket.

price on every can, you know, everything's displayed.

How did you figure out that that was something that needed to be done?

Well, as a kid, I was always around cars.

Okay.
