We're going to have a tax cut. Today's American family is overtaxed at all levels.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our current tax system is broken.
The polls are with us on this. They say the American people, more than anything, want to see spending cuts rather than tax increases.
Americans don't think we should be raising taxes on anybody, especially in the middle of a recession.
I think the tax cut is ridiculous but so am I.
We Liberal Democrats don't believe we should use the tax structure to champion just one type of family.
Look, only in Washington is not raising taxes considered a tax cut. Nobody's getting a tax cut here. We're not cutting taxes. We're preventing tax increases from occurring.
Higher taxes is the road to ruin. We must and we will shrink our government, and that means making some tough choices, tightening our belts.
Simply cutting the taxes for America's wealthiest families is clearly not creating the needed new jobs, and that strategy is unlikely to succeed in the future.
My position has been consistent that middle class families should not pay more taxes. That hasn't changed.
If you increase taxes now on - at any level, it's going to make it harder to create jobs And we've lost 2 1/2 million jobs since the stimulus package passed. We're at 9.6 unemployment. So I don't think we tax too little, I think we spend too much.
