Transcription
I'm told some people are out there telling you that I'm interested in raising taxes. They've got it wrong. In fact, in my announcement speech for president, I said I won't raise taxes, period. By the way, I'm totally opposed to an oil import fee, too. That's just a backdoor tax. So if you ever hear anyone say I want more taxes or an oil import fee, you tell them you know George Bush, and he doesn't like either one. George Bush, ready on day one to be a great president.
