And so...

You have a particular view on what money you can and shouldn't take.

Can you explain what your position is?

Yeah, I mean, look, the way that I would describe my personal, at this point, my personal political philosophy, insofar as I am developing one, is I also want people to make tons of money.

No.

I would love that.

That's why my parents came to this country for great success and for whatever.
