When a small business grows like eBay
did, it has a multiplier effect. It creates
other small businesses that supply it
with intellectual capital, goods and services.

People ask me, how is managing in the
New Economy different from managing in
the Old Economy? Actually, it's a lot
the same. It's about the financial discipline
of the bottom line, understanding your
customers, segmenting your customers by
their needs, and building a world-class
management team.

We also need to reduce corporate tax rates.
This applies to small, medium and large
businesses. At 35 percent, we have the
second highest corporate rates in the
world. It restricts the growth of small
enterprises that need to plow capital
back into their businesses and forces
companies and jobs to move overseas.

If we don’t rededicate ourselves
to education with the same attitude Americans
have applied to going to the moon and
fighting wars, the results will be profound.
We will gradually lose our successful
workforce.

eBay had two main things that really spoke
to me. It enabled individuals to do things
that they could not have done without
the Web. The second thing was what Pierre
said: "People have met their best
friends on eBay. What this has enabled
is truly online community."

We can’t impede progress in the name
of environmental action that yields little
for the environment and even less for
our people.. and we should look at the
environment as an economic opportunity.

In my judgment, we have to avoid, at all
costs, tax increases. That would be the
worst possible thing to do and will make
a bad economy even worse. Beyond that,
targeted tax relief should be expanded
upon.
