New Obama Ad Highlights Romney’s Tax Returns

New Obama Ad Highlights Romney’s Tax Returns

The Obama campaign is focusing on tax fairness in their latest ad, using a Mitt Romney interview about his tax rate that Joe Biden brought up in the vice presidential debate on Thursday.

Most of the spot consists of a clip of Romney on 60 Minutes last month defending his 14% effective tax rate on $20 million of income, which is on par with some middle-income workers' tax rates, as fair and a way to "encourage growth."

"Lower tax rates for him than us," the ad's narrator says. "Is that the way to grow America?"

Not relying on people reading fact checking quotes on screen, just pure Romney.
