Rand Paul

There's never been a better time to be alive.

I believe that so strongly and that we're doing a disservice to our young people by saying, you're a victim.

Oh, your color of skin is dark.

Nobody's going to want to hire you.

It's the opposite.

We live in a time where people are less likely to judge you based on your color of the skin than ever in the history of mankind.

It doesn't mean there's no bigots out there.

People are less likely to judge you on your sexuality than they ever have, on the color of your skin, on your religion.

We are an incredible country.

Are we perfect?

No.

But there's never historically been a better time to be alive.

And you can do it.

I mean, you literally can do a manual job, earn enough money to start your own small business.

If you're in high school and you're a decent student, but you're not a rocket scientist, you don't love reading books, and you don't love math, but you're pretty good and you're intelligent enough, if you do HVAC, you'll have one hell of a career.

You go to a technical school in Louisville,

All of the people in the class, I went to one recently, there was 100 people in the class for HVAC, fixing air conditioners.

Every one of them, their tuition was paid for, and they had a job if they completed the course.

And HVAC, if you're an HVAC worker, I'm guessing, I'll bet you could make $80,000 to $100,000 a year fixing air conditioners.

But if you start your own HVAC company, you'll be the richest man or woman in town.
