And I will repeat today what I have said throughout this campaign. I will not raise taxes on the middle class. I will give you tax relief to help ease these burdens.

I strongly support tax relief for the middle class.

We're going to look awfully stupid if we give income tax relief to people who do not pay income taxes.

Congress had the opportunity to extend tax relief to working families without increasing the deficit. Instead, we were handed a bill that favors the wealthy and eliminates deductions that benefit the middle class.

The middle class should not continue to foot the bill for tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires.

Working income is taxed at a higher rate than the non-working income
