More quotes by Eliot Spitzer
My career was obviously cut shorter than I wanted it to be.
Eliot Spitzer
Companies that pollute should be taxed so that a product's cost to society is reflected in the price of that product.
Eliot Spitzer
In the melting pot that is America, inclusive trumps exclusive. Whether it's single women, young adults, or minorities, alienating the rapidly growing voting blocs is not smart politics.
Eliot Spitzer
I stand before you today because this vision of government as the engine of opportunity is what I believe in.
Eliot Spitzer
Once again, the puppets on Capitol Hill are about to slam the Muppets on Main Street. The country still hasn't recovered from the Wall Street-induced financial cataclysm of 2008, yet Congress is preparing to enact the Orwellian 'JOBS Act' - a bill that should in fact be called the 'Return Fraud to Wall Street in One Easy Step Act.'

As one who was a prosecutor for many years, I can tell you that having a tape recording of interrogations would help everybody.

Eliot Spitzer

Any reasonable economist will tell you that it's nearly impossible to isolate the impact of right-to-work laws on a state's job growth. A multitude of other factors intervene. However, one thing the numbers can show is that right-to-work laws have a negative effect on the wages of workers in that state.
Eliot Spitzer
Those who are critical of Alliance are the same people who have done nothing for 30 years.
Eliot Spitzer
I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself.
Eliot Spitzer
I think President Obama could have handled politics and policies differently. But he has been decisive, strong, and consistent - important qualities in a president. Mitt Romney is indeed an Etch A Sketch, the antithesis of leadership.
Eliot Spitzer
Sometimes in politics, you think you've seen it all. Turns out I was wrong.
Eliot Spitzer
While their fiscal views aren't mine, the moderates are the last reasonable voice in the current Republican Party.
Eliot Spitzer
I don't have any particular expertise-I've never been a banker or an investment banker. But I did see an evolution in the system that I thought was problematic.
Eliot Spitzer
In politics you learn to always smile.
