New Obama Ad Hits Romney Tax Plan: ‘He Pays Less, You Pay More’
by Tommy Christopher | 8:43 am, August 2nd, 2012
The Obama campaign has released a new ad, pegged to the report released Wednesday by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center, that hits Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney where it hurts: right in the old tax returns. The ad, entitled “Stretch,” contrasts average Americans trying to stretch a buck (get it?) with the ultra-rich Romney, whose tax plan would hit middle class families, while enriching himself, according to the report.
“You work hard. Stretch every penny,” the ad begins, over distressing home-ec stock footage. “But chances are you pay a higher tax rate than him.”
Over a classic negative ad color-drained still, the narrator continues, “Mitt Romney made twenty million dollars in two thousand ten but paid only fourteen percent in taxes…probably less than you.”
“Now he has a plan that would give millionaires another tax break,” the ad goes on, now over a guest appearance by Donald Trump’s jumbo jet, segueing to more grainy household footage, “And raises taxes on middle class families by up to two thousand dollars a year.”
“Mitt Romney’s middle class tax increase,” the narrator concludes. “He pays less. You pay more.”
