Some Quotes from the speech:"First of all, if you taxed these people at 100% … it still doesn’t solve the debt. Not only does that not solve the debt problem, but I looked at a host of other … tax increases being proposed by our colleagues in the Democratic Party and the president to solve the debt problem. And you add them all up … the jet airplanes, the oil companies, all of the other things they talk about — you put them all together in one big batch, and you know what it does? It basically deals with nine days and 23 hours worth of deficit spending. …. Let’s round it off. … It buys them 10 days of deficit spending reduction."

"That is the real face of unemployment in America, of people that are hurting. And our job here is to do everything we can to make it easier for them to find a job, not harder. And I think that’s what we have to do when it comes to a balanced approach and when we talk about revenue.

We don’t need new taxes. We need new taxpayers, people that are gainfully employed, making money and paying into the tax system. And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again. And that’s what we should be focused on, and that’s what we’re not focused on.

So you look at all these taxes that are being proposed, and here’s what I say. I say we should analyze every single one of them through the lens of job creation, issue number one in America."
