"Their plan says let’s go back to a system on Wall Street where there were the kinds of rules that allowed people to take reckless bets that ended up affecting all of Main Street. My attitude is, to strengthen this economy we’ve got to make sure that those rules are actually enforced, not watered down, and in the meantime, let’s work to make sure that we’re keeping taxes low for middle-class families who are still struggling to get by.

I just want to repeat: dirtier air, dirtier water, fewer people on health care, less accountability on Wall Street — that is not a jobs plan."

"So when you hear that, well, the reason we’re not supporting it, we like the ideas but we don’t want to see higher taxes — if we don’t pass this bill, taxes for the average family will go up, because the payroll tax cut that we passed in December will lapse. If we do pass this bill, for 97, 98 percent of Americans, your taxes will stay low. My taxes will go up a little bit, but I can afford it."

Too bad he didn't actually say 99%, but he would certainly have been torn apart by the likes of Foxnews if had actually said 99%.
