I don't want to be partisan here. But please, tell me how you get out of a business recession by raising business taxes and regulations?

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.

Faced with a deep recession, some say the answer is to expand the role of government.

I will cut taxes - cut taxes - for 95 percent of all working families, because, in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class.

A temporary reduction in tax rates on individual incomes can be a powerful weapon against recession.

In the middle of a recession no tax increase is justified because it kills jobs, and any tax increase is a job-killing measure and should be defeated.

What I want to do is create more taxpayers, not more taxes.

The worst thing that we could do is raises taxes. It would only hurt the economy.

What you really want to do is sit down and find a place that you can control government spending and raise more revenue.

In the middle of a recession, where we're just climbing out of it, where the economy -unemployment is still at 9.7 percent, the idea of raising taxes and reducing spending is a prescription for disaster.
