New Obama Ad Contrasts Romney's Plan to Raise Middle Class Taxes With Obama Tax Cuts

New Obama Ad Contrasts Romney's Plan to Raise Middle Class Taxes With Obama Tax Cuts

by TomP

President Obama is continuing to contrast his middle-class supporting polices with Romney's destroy-the-middle-class plan. In this new ad to run in battleground states, President Obama hits Romney hard on Romney's tax policies.



The Choice on Taxes.

Mitt Romney's Plan: A 25% tax cut for Millionaires. Tax breaks for oil companies and corproations that ship jobs overseas. But a tax hike for 18 Million Working Familes.

Barack Obama's Plan: Ask the Wealthy to Pay a Little More so the Middle Class Pays Less. Eliminate Oil Subsidies and Tax Breaks for Companies that Outsource.


Two Plans. Your Choice.

I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.

"Why the FUCK are we spreading the meme that taxes (and the public goods they fund)"

Watch the ad again, the "meme" is that Romney wants to raise taxes on the middle class and give tax cuts to the rich, oil companies and those that ship jobs overseas.

I approve of that message.

It may not be fair or even ethical but it's reality.
