Investment = tax increases

Energy independence = tax increases

Fiscal accountability = tax increases

Our shared values = tax increases

Sanity = tax increases

Tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans = smaller government

Unfair sacrifices by middle class, elderly, children = smaller government

Courage to change = willingness to submit to high taxes

The wealthy = anyone capable of hiring someone else for a permanent job
