奥巴马2012竞选连任演讲：爱荷华州立大学演讲

So in just over two months, you will make a choice about which path we take, and it’s going to be a stark choice. You can choose whether we give massive new tax cuts to folks who’ve already made it, or whether we’re going to keep taxes low for every American who’s still trying to make it. (Applause.)

I’ve cut taxes for the middle class, and for families, and for students. And I want to make sure that taxes aren’t raised a dime on your family’s first $250,000 of income. That means that 98 percent of Americans and 97 percent of small businesses wouldn’t see an income tax increase. (Applause.) You can choose.

You can choose whether we’re going to give up new jobs and new industries to China and India, or whether we’re going to fight for those jobs by investing in the research of our scientists and the drive of our students and the innovation that harnesses new sources of energy, and brings the next generation of manufacturing to places like Ames and Milwaukee and Detroit and Pittsburgh. That’s your choice. (Applause.)

You can decide whether the best way to make college affordable is to — as my opponent put it — hope your parents can just lend you the money. (Laughter.) Or you can say, let’s help more Americans earn the kind of education you receive here at Iowa State. Let’s help more Americans go to community colleges to get the skills and trainings that employers are looking for right now. (Applause.)
