President Obama Thinks Mitt Romney Doesn’t Pay His Fair Share Of Taxes

In President Obama latest ad he attacks Romney’s “strange take on tax fairness.” It includes clips of people accusing Romney of paying a lower rate than “average” Americans. An accompanying email said, “Mitt Romney admitted he thinks it’s fair that his $20 million income was taxed at a lower rate than someone making $50,000.” According to the ad, “When Mitt Romney dismissed 47% of Americans for not pulling their weight, he attacked millions of hard working people making 25, 35, 45 thousand dollars a year. They pay social security taxes. State taxes. Local taxes. Gas, sales, and property taxes. Romney paid just 14 percent in taxes last year. On over 13 million in income. Almost all from investments. Instead of attacking folks who work for a living…Shouldn’t we stand up for them?”
