I am not for raising taxes in a recession, especially when it comes to job creators that we need so desperately to start creating jobs again.

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

The American taxpayers are a powerful force. They don't want their taxes raised.

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

Raising taxes in an economic downturn is not a good idea.

You don't get an economy growing by raising taxes.

There's no reason to raise taxes. Taxes should be lower... The problem we have is that government spends too much, not that taxes are too low.

We're going to have a tax cut. Today's American family is overtaxed at all levels.

The problem with the economy isn't that people aren't paying their fair share of taxes.

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.
