and i come here to ask you to stand with me __PUNCT__ just like you stood with me in __NUM__ to finish what we start __PUNCT__

becaus less than __NUM___month from now __PUNCT__ you will face a choic __PUNCT__ and that choic could not be bigger __PUNCT__

thi is a choic not just between two candid __PUNCT__

it not just between two polit_parti __PUNCT__

more than ani elect in recent_memori __PUNCT__ thi is a choic about two fundament differ vision for our countri __PUNCT__ how we move thi countri forward __PUNCT__

and the direct that you choos when you walk into that vote_booth will have an impact not just on your live __PUNCT__ but on the live of your children and the live of your grandchildren __PUNCT__

it will impact us for decad to come __PUNCT__

when we came togeth in __NUM__ __PUNCT__ and it wasn't just democrat __PUNCT__ we had independ and some republican too __PUNCT__ it wa to restor the basic bargain that built thi countri __PUNCT__ the basic bargain that made us the most prosper economi in the world __PUNCT__

it a bargain that sai if we work_hard __PUNCT__ we should be reward __PUNCT__

it a deal that sai if you put in enough effort __PUNCT__ you can find a job that pai the bill __PUNCT__

you can afford a home that you call your own __PUNCT__

you won't go broke when you get sick __PUNCT__

you can retir with digniti and respect __PUNCT__

and most of all __PUNCT__ it a bargain that sai your kid will get a great educ and thei grow up safe and healthi __PUNCT__

and thei will have opportun that you couldn't even dream of __PUNCT__ that thei will be abl to achiev thing that you could have onli hope for __PUNCT__

that the basic promis of america __PUNCT__

that the american_dream __PUNCT__

and we knew that restor it wouldn't be easi __PUNCT__ that it would take more than on year __PUNCT__ or on term __PUNCT__ or even on presid __PUNCT__ becaus we had just gone through a decad in which the middl_class had been take a lot of hit __PUNCT__

job had been get ship oversea __PUNCT__

incom and wage were flat or even go down __PUNCT__ while the cost of everyth from health_care to colleg were go up __PUNCT__

a few folk at the top were do realli well __PUNCT__ but the averag_famili wa struggl __PUNCT__

and thi wa befor we saw the worst financi_crisi sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__

and so mani more of our friend and neighbor and famili_member lost their job and lost their home __PUNCT__ lost their save and push that american_dream even further out of reach __PUNCT__

so when i ran for thi offic __NUM___year_ago __PUNCT__ i told you there were no quick fix __PUNCT__ there were no easi solut __PUNCT__

that still true todai __PUNCT__

but what i also told you and what is also still true todai is that we have the capac to meet everi challeng __PUNCT__

we got everyth we need to meet our challeng __PUNCT__

we still got the best worker in the world __PUNCT__

we still got the best entrepreneur __PUNCT__ and small businessmen and women in the world __PUNCT__

we got the best scientist and research in the world __PUNCT__

we got the best farmer in the world __PUNCT__

we got the best colleg and univers in the world __PUNCT__

we ar still a young nation __PUNCT__ and we got the greatest divers of talent and ingenu __PUNCT__ peopl want to come here from everi corner of the globe __PUNCT__

so no matter what the naysay sai __PUNCT__ no matter how dark the other side tri to paint thing __PUNCT__ there is not anoth countri on earth that wouldn't gladli chang place with the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

becaus peopl_understand that even though we go through some tough_time __PUNCT__ there is a resili and grit about thi countri __PUNCT__

and thi countri is the place where if you will to work_hard __PUNCT__ no matter what you look like __PUNCT__ no matter where you come from __PUNCT__ no matter what your last name is __PUNCT__ you can make it __PUNCT__

that the idea that we were try to rebuild in __NUM__ __PUNCT__

that the idea that we continu to pursu in __NUM__ __PUNCT__

that is what thi campaign is all about __PUNCT__

and that is why i run for a second term as presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

he is the ideolog leader of the republican in congress __PUNCT__

he is a articul spokesman for governor romnei vision __PUNCT__

i just happen to fundament disagre with hi vision __PUNCT__

their vision is wrong for work_famili __PUNCT__ and it is wrong for the countri __PUNCT__

look __PUNCT__ my oppon and hi friend in congress __PUNCT__ thei believ that if you just get rid of more regul on big_corpor and big_bank and then you give more tax_break to the wealthiest american __PUNCT__ that that will automat lead to job and prosper for ordinari famili __PUNCT__

and i not exagger here __PUNCT__ that their basic_econom econom_plan __PUNCT__

the centerpiec of governor romnei econom plan is a new __MONEY___trillion tax_cut __PUNCT__ a lot of it go to the wealthiest american __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ keep in mind __PUNCT__ __MONEY___trillion is a lot of monei __PUNCT__ even in washington __PUNCT__

our entir defens_budget is a littl over half a trillion_dollar a year __PUNCT__ so thi tax_cut would be like give the equival of the entir defens_budget in tax_cut __PUNCT__ a lot of it go to veri rich_peopl __PUNCT__ everi year for __NUM___year __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

i don't have __MONEY__ __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

you don't have __MONEY__ to spare __PUNCT__

i didn't think so __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ don't take my word for it __PUNCT__

thi is base on independ studi that have been done by folk who analyz thi stuff for a live __PUNCT__

thei sai __PUNCT__ look __PUNCT__ thi will cost middl_class class_famili with children an averag of __MONEY__

and thei ask you to pai an extra __NUM__ buck not to reduc the deficit __PUNCT__ not to help our kid get educ __PUNCT__ not to help kid go to colleg __PUNCT__ not to rebuild our road or our bridg or our port __PUNCT__ thei do thi to give anoth __MONEY__ tax_cut to folk who ar make___MONEY__ __MONEY___million a year or more __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ have you heard thi befor __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

ye __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

thei have been try to sell thi trickl __PUNCT__ down snake oil befor __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and guess what __PUNCT__ it didn't work then __PUNCT__

it won't work now __PUNCT__

it not a plan to creat_job __PUNCT__

it not a plan to reduc the deficit __PUNCT__

it not a plan to move the economi forward __PUNCT__

and secretli __PUNCT__ i think thei know thi __PUNCT__

i think thei know their plan is not veri popular __PUNCT__

you can tell that becaus thei be pretti dishonest about my plan __PUNCT__ especi __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ when it come to medicar __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ thi is someth i got to point out here __PUNCT__ becaus thei ar just throw everyth at the wall to see if it stick __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ here what you need to know __PUNCT__ i have strengthen medicar __PUNCT__

i have made reform that have save million of senior with medicar hundr of dollar on their prescript_drug __PUNCT__

i have propos reform that will save medicar monei by get rid of wast spend in the health_care_system __PUNCT__ reform that will not touch your medicar benefit __PUNCT__ not by a dime __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ mr __PUNCT__ romnei and hi run_mate have a veri differ plan __PUNCT__

thei want to turn medicar into a voucher_program __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

that mean senior would no longer have the guarante of medicar __PUNCT__ thei get a voucher to bui privat_insur __PUNCT__

and becaus the voucher wouldn't keep up with cost __PUNCT__ the plan author by governor romnei run_mate __PUNCT__ congressman ryan __PUNCT__ would forc senior to pai an extra __MONEY__ a year __PUNCT__

and i assum thei don't have it __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

my plan ha alreadi extend medicar by nearli a decad __PUNCT__

their plan end medicar as we know it __PUNCT__

my plan reduc the cost of medicar by crack down on fraud and wast and subsidi to insur_compani __PUNCT__

their plan make senior pai more so thei can give anoth tax_cut to millionair and billionair __PUNCT__

that the differ between our plan on medicar __PUNCT__

that an exampl of the choic in thi elect __PUNCT__

and that is why i run for a second term as presid of the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

just like we got a differ plan on medicar __PUNCT__ we got a differ econom_plan __PUNCT__

you just heard __PUNCT__ thei want to give __MONEY___trillion tax_cut __PUNCT__ tax_break to wealthi american who don't need them __PUNCT__

four year_ago __PUNCT__ i promis to cut middl_class tax __PUNCT__ and __PUNCT__ dubuqu __PUNCT__ that exactli what i done __PUNCT__

so if you talk to a friend of your who sai __PUNCT__ oh __PUNCT__ those democrat __PUNCT__ thei all tax __PUNCT__ and __PUNCT__ spend liber __PUNCT__ you tell them the averag middl class_famili __PUNCT__ their tax ar about __MONEY__ lower sinc i becom presid __PUNCT__

and right now what i want to do is to keep tax right where thei ar for the first __MONEY__ of everybodi incom __PUNCT__

if your famili make under __MONEY__ __PUNCT__ like __NUM__ percent of american_famili do and __NUM__ percent of small_busi do __PUNCT__ you won't see your incom_tax tax_increas by a singl dime next year __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ if you fortun enough to be in the other __NUM__ percent __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

i wish __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

if you fortun enough to be in the other __NUM__ percent __PUNCT__ you still get a tax_cut on your first __MONEY__

but all we ask is __PUNCT__ if for the next littl bit that you make you can afford to contribut a littl bit more __PUNCT__ abov __MONEY__ so that we can pai down our deficit in a respons __PUNCT__ balanc wai and invest in thing like educ that help america grow __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ that alon won't cut our deficit __PUNCT__

we go to have to still make sure govern doe it part __PUNCT__

we alreadi cut a trillion_dollar __PUNCT__ worth of spend that we don't need __PUNCT__ and we can do more to make govern more effici __PUNCT__

we have to do more __PUNCT__

but we not go to reduc the deficit just on the back of the middl_class __PUNCT__

so i think it make_sens to ask folk like me who been incred bless to go back to the rate that we paid under bill_clinton __PUNCT__ a time __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ when nearli __NUM___million new job were creat __PUNCT__ we went from deficit to surplu __PUNCT__ and __PUNCT__ here the kicker __PUNCT__ we creat a lot of millionair too __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and the reason is __PUNCT__ is becaus the economi __PUNCT__ when you look back on american_histori __PUNCT__ alwai work best when the middl_class is do well __PUNCT__

let me ask you someth __PUNCT__

when a teacher or a construct_worker or a receptionist or a firefight __PUNCT__ when you get a littl extra_monei in your pocket __PUNCT__ what do you do __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

spend it __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

you spend it __PUNCT__

becaus time ar tight and mayb you been drive around in that old beater __PUNCT__ you had that car for __NUM___year __PUNCT__ and you decid it about time to trade it in __PUNCT__

or mayb you think now is the time i can final bui a new comput for my kid who is about to go off to colleg __PUNCT__

or mayb i go to a restaur __PUNCT__ or heaven forbid __PUNCT__ i take a vacat onc in a while __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and what happen is that suddenli busi have more custom __PUNCT__ and thei make more profit __PUNCT__

and so folk at the top ar do veri well __PUNCT__ but the busi __PUNCT__ becaus thei more profit __PUNCT__ now thei hire more worker __PUNCT__ who then have more monei __PUNCT__ who then bui more product __PUNCT__ who then give busi more custom __PUNCT__

that how you grow an economi __PUNCT__ not from the top down __PUNCT__ from the middl out __PUNCT__ from the bottom up __PUNCT__ give everybodi a fair shot __PUNCT__

that the choic in thi elect __PUNCT__ and that why i run for a second term as presid __PUNCT__ becaus that what i believ __PUNCT__

that my vision for the futur __PUNCT__

on just about everi issu __PUNCT__ governor romnei and i just have a differ opinion __PUNCT__

when the auto_industri wa on the brink of collaps __PUNCT__ more than a million_job at stake __PUNCT__ governor romnei said let let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__

i said let bet on american_worker __PUNCT__

and we got worker and manag togeth __PUNCT__ and thei chang how thei were do busi __PUNCT__

and __NUM___year later __PUNCT__ the american auto_industri is back on top __PUNCT__

that what i believ __PUNCT__

that the kind of america we need __PUNCT__

so now i want american_manufactur back in america __PUNCT__

i want to stop give tax_break to compani that ar ship job_oversea __PUNCT__

let give those tax_break to compani that ar invest right here in dubuqu __PUNCT__ right here in the quad __PUNCT__ right here in iowa __PUNCT__ in cleveland and raleigh __PUNCT__

let put_peopl back to work __PUNCT__

governor romnei like to sai __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ you know what __PUNCT__ i know how to fix the economi __PUNCT__ becaus i been in the privat_sector __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ it turn out that a lot of that experi wa invest in compani that were call __PUNCT__ pioneer __PUNCT__ in outsourc __PUNCT__

we don't need folk who know how to outsourc __PUNCT__

we need folk who ar work to insourc __PUNCT__ to creat_job here __PUNCT__ and hire american_worker so we sell american product around the world stamp with three proud word __PUNCT__ made in america __PUNCT__

that what i believ __PUNCT__

on energi __PUNCT__ governor romnei ha said that he want to get rid of the tax_credit for wind_energi __PUNCT__ doesn't believ in it __PUNCT__ he sai these sourc of energi ar __PUNCT__ imaginari __PUNCT__

congressman ryan call them a __PUNCT__ fad __PUNCT__

he need to come to iowa __PUNCT__

he find out that there ar __NUM___job in thi state that depend on the wind industri __PUNCT__

these job aren't a __PUNCT__ fad __PUNCT__

thei the futur __PUNCT__

we should stop give __MONEY___billion of taxpay_subsidi to oil_compani that ar make_monei everi time you go to the pump __PUNCT__

let start invest in clean_energi that will creat_job and secur our futur __PUNCT__

that a differ in thi elect __PUNCT__
