"We should be insisting that everyone pays their fair share, and when I'm President, they will."

"This tax credit will strengthen working families by increasing the money in their pockets, and reducing the worry that hangs over so many Americans."

"We want a system based on fairness - not special favors."

"His plan will reduce growing income disparities and help millions of hard-working taxpayers with middle-class tax relief."
