Let me tell you, the heart of my tax proposal: I will not raise taxes on the American people. I will not raise taxes on middle-income Americans.

When you tell the American people, 'Read my lips. No new taxes,' that should mean no new taxes.

I'm not going to raise taxes; I'm not going to have a wage increase for public employees.

What I want to do is make certain that no one's taxes go up. Let's look at cleaning up the tax code.

I'm not for raising taxes on anyone - period.

I'm for tax reform, not tax increases.

A great deal has been said about my commitment not to raise taxes. It's a core value - it's common sense - it's important to keeping and growing jobs - and it's mainstream!

I am not for raising taxes on the American people in a soft economy.

I can make a firm pledge, under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.

It is my absolute intent to hold the line on taxes.
