I said absolutely not.

I know what we need to do.

You see, I think Senator McCain just doesn't get it - he doesn't get that this crisis on Wall Street hit Main Street a long time ago.

We need a President who will fight for the middle class every single day, and that's exactly what I'll do when I'm President of the United States.

I will eliminate capital gains taxes for small businesses and start-ups - that's how we'll grow our economy and create the high-wage, high-tech jobs of tomorrow.

If the American people are being asked to pay for the solution to this crisis, then you have a right to make sure that your tax dollars are protected.

We need to stop giving those tax cuts to corporations and CEOs on Wall Street, and start standing up for families out on Main Street.

We can do this because Americans have done this before.

We meet here at a time of great uncertainty for America.

I will finally keep the promise of affordable, accessible health care for every single American.

Our nation has faced difficult times before.
