You know and I know and economists know that trickle-down economics doesn't work.

Will it work better in some areas than others? Sure. But you can't defend a system that was in part based on its lack of relationships with other people.

I can't write things. I'm embarrassed all the time about that, particularly if people don't know that about me.

If you're nice, if you like yourself, if you treat other people well, you're going to be successful. I guarantee it.

You can't separate me from my upbringing as a child overcoming learning disabilities and having to make my way through that.

I have to tell you, I'll be right up front about it: I'm the governor of the state of Connecticut, and I can't write anything well.
