Growing up, we had to work. If you wanted anything at all that was more than basic food and shelter, you had to make your own money.

I'm focused on bringing real change to Washington because the career politicians have screwed things up so badly.

Career politicians like Marco Rubio worry more about keeping the job than doing the job and are constantly looking for their next political promotion.

I just think people are fed up with people who are career politicians who don't stand for anything.

Jobs in the public sector are increasingly dependent on technology, and more and more government services are available online in developed and developing countries. Women who have ICT skills can help develop and deliver these services, even in places where the sexes are traditionally kept separate.

I think that politics could be a positive thing. My beef is that people focus on the personal aspect of a politician too much. They should focus on the results.

The only reason to be in politics is public service. There's no other reason. Frankly, if that's the best job you can get in terms of money, that's too bad, you know. Because frankly, it's not well paid, everyone knows that. So for most people it's a big sacrifice.

Remember that government doesn't earn one single dollar it spends. In order for you to get money from the government, that money must first be taken from somebody else.
