Clark Durant

I'm for innovation and a commitment to a rising tide that lifts all boats for all Americans.

We need a country that embraces all, and rewards innovators, entrepreneurs, job creators, and hard-working people of all sorts.

Does anybody think Steve Jobs should not be in the 1 percent? He made life better for the 99 percent of the rest of us. You want to create opportunities for people with their unique gifts.

In Detroit, in a city that in many cases the world has rejected, that's where God shows up. Every example in the Gospels where God shows up, it's always when the seas are the stormiest, where there is discontinuity.

I do not believe in widening the income gap between rich and poor, and my life's work in the inner city of Detroit demonstrates that far more than any sound bite.
