I come from a middle class background. I have travelled a lot by trains and have lived in the world. It is a world I cannot get away from; I would not even want to.

A middle class is so important to a society that its value cannot be overestimated.

I'm painfully middle class.

They cannot divide us by saying that you're middle class or you're lower class.

I want to lower taxes for the middle class.

I think Citigroup is one of the best ways to play the rising middle class around the world. It's obviously one of the premiere global plays in the financial services sector. Now with a combination of Salomon Smith Barney and Travelers, it reaches all different aspects of the financial services market and obviously it's a global play.
