"A lot of folks think that if we lower tax rates, then the rich are just going to rip everybody off, that they are going to get away with murder."

"If plan beats no plan, then why has the President once again decided to duck from the drivers of our debt?"

"And why has he decided to base his re-election strategy on dividing Americans for political gain?"

"But then we will have a debate about who should bear that burden. And our judgment is the top 2 percent of Americans should bear that burden through a higher effective tax rate."
