[Music] Obama (voiceover): I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.

Male Announcer: You work hard.  Stretch every penny.

But chances are you pay a higher tax rate than him….

Mitt Romney made twenty million dollars in 2010 but paid only 14% in taxes…Probably less than you.

Now he has a plan that would give millionaires another tax break…And raises taxes on middle class families by up to $2,000 a year.

Mitt Romney’s middle class tax increase.

He pays less. You pay more.

Notes: According to the press release, the ad...

"...highlights how the Romney Tax Hike would raise taxes on millions of middle-class families with children by more than $2,000 to pay for his $5 trillion tax plan tilted to the wealthiest. Even though Mitt Romney paid only 14% in taxes on $20 million of income, Romney asks the middle-class to pick up the tab for millionaires’ tax breaks. Under the Romney Tax Hike, he pays less and the middle-class pays more."
