So the point is, Ames, your vote matters. Your vote made a difference. Change was possible because of you. And now we’ve more work to do –- to grow this economy, create good jobs, to strengthen the middle class. And in November, your voice will matter more than it ever has before.
This week in Tampa, my opponents will offer you their agenda. It should be a pretty entertaining show. (Laughter.) It will be. And I’m sure they’ll have some wonderful things to say about me. (Laughter.)
AUDIENCE MEMBER: We do. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: But what you won’t hear from them is a path forward that meets the challenges of our time. Instead, it will be an economic plan that says if you just give folks making $3 million or more a year another $250,000 tax cut, then jobs and prosperity will magically rain down on everybody else.
AUDIENCE: Booo —
THE PRESIDENT: Some of you guys are a little young, so you may not remember it, but we tried this for 10 years before I was elected. It didn’t work out so well. It didn’t work out then; it won’t work now.
I don’t want to pay for another millionaire’s tax cut by raising taxes on the middle class. I don’t want to pay for that tax cut by cutting financial aid on 10 million students. Our economic strength doesn’t come from the top down; it comes from students and workers, and a growing, thriving middle class. That’s how we grow an economy. (Applause.)
