In democracy - and the good thing about democracy, big change does not happen quickly, and you need a buy-in and a convincing, a selling, an arm-twisting to get big change. And that takes time.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
I tend to think that free-market conservative principles are the best ones for the CEO of a state.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
We have to reduce the tax burden, whether it's income tax for corporations or private individuals, and we should put a freeze on property taxes.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
I have said, on a number of occasions, that we could have a lower minimum wage or no minimum wage.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
I think we've got to be competitive here in Illinois. It's critical we're competitive. We're hurting our economy by having the minimum wage above the national. We've got to move back to the national.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
We must find a way to balance our tradition as a state welcoming of refugees while ensuring the safety and security of our citizens.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
I will advocate moving the Illinois minimum wage back to the national minimum wage.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
Success is all about persistence and doing the right thing for the long term.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
My wife and I believe that there's nothing we do together as a community that's more important than education.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
We've talked through the fact that our family will be attacked. Our family will be dragged through the mud. My businesses that I've helped build and create will be attacked and dragged through the mud. That's politics. I don't spend a lot of time worrying about it or thinking about it.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
The fact is that politics in Illinois is a blood sport. It's really rough. It's really nasty.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
There are plenty of examples of very wealthy people who have run for office and failed, certainly in Illinois.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
Frankly, I would never ask a supporter to bet big on me if I wouldn't bet big on myself. It wouldn't be fair.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
I want to do something that I'm proud of and that I can look back on with pride of accomplishment.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
The tax money belongs to the taxpayers. It doesn't belong to the bureaucracy. And government is not a welfare system.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
These political consultants love business guys who've never been in politics to try and take advantage of them. I get that.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
I'll be willing to do things that politicians won't do. Because I don't care who I upset.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
I just want the state fixed, and I just want to do the right thing for the taxpayers.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
We have to be bold, tough, and fundamentally change government because Springfield is broken.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
The government union bosses are the most powerful politicians in Springfield.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
Our government workers should be treated fairly and appropriately. They should have a decent retirement, but not a gold-plated system where they can retire multimillionaires in their 50s.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
We need to focus on reducing property taxes. We need to focus on education funding. We need to focus on getting term limits on elected officials.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
If Republicans and Democrats commit to working together, we can reach a bipartisan, common-sense agreement to reverse Illinois' economic decline and set the stage for a bright economic future.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
Government pensions are among the largest cost drivers for state and local governments.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
We cannot accept the status quo of throwing more taxpayer money into a broke and broken system.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
The people of Illinois sent me to Springfield to end the era of unbalanced budgets and runaway debt.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
Government unions should not be allowed to influence the public officials they are lobbying, and sitting across the bargaining table from, through campaign donations and expenditures.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
Government employees deserve to be treated fairly, but they do not deserve a significantly better deal than average Illinoisans get in their own jobs.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
Those who value a strong safety net for our neediest citizens see that every extra dollar spent on these unions is a dollar that cannot go to help the sick, the elderly, and the vulnerable.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
Those who want low taxes and healthy job creation know that an unnecessary dollar going to these unions is a dollar that cannot reduce the tax burden on homeowners, small businesses, and job creators.
Quote by -Bruce Rauner
To restore our public schools, we must put an end to the selfish agenda of the union bosses.
