We've got to stop giving tax breaks to companies that are shipping jobs overseas and invest those tax breaks in companies that are investing here in the United States of America. We have to end the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy. And to provide tax breaks to middle class Americans and working Americans who need them.
Obama emphasizes the need to end tax breaks for companies outsourcing jobs and to focus on supporting middle-class Americans.

It is a decision about how do we face and embrace this finite amount of time we have on the planet.
I think when we act on that basis, it doesn't always work out, but over time things do get better.
People need to “rediscover what’s the story we tell about how we’re going to live together, and see each other, and recognise each other, and disagree, and yet, still care for each other”.
And I will fight for that, even if I don’t always think it’s going to win.
