Obama for America

"Heavy Load" +

:30 ad from Sept. 3, 2012, to run in CO, FL, IA, NV, NH, OH and VA. 

[Music] Male Announcer: The middle class is carrying a heavy load in America.

But Mitt Romney doesn’t see it.

Under the Romney plan, a middle class family will pay an average of up to $2,000 more a year in taxes, while at the same time giving multi-millionaires like himself a $250,000 tax cut.

So, Romney hits the middle class harder, and gives millionaires an even bigger break.

Is that the way forward for America?

Obama: I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.

Notes: From the press release...

Obama for America released a new television advertisement today titled “Heavy Load” that underscores the key differences between President Obama and Mitt Romney’s visions for America’s middle-class. The President recognizes the heavy burden that the middle-class is carrying. Unfortunately, Mitt Romney just doesn’t get it. Under Romney’s plan, middle-class families with kids would pay $2,000 more in taxes, to pay for tax cuts for multi-millionaires who would receive an average $250,000 tax cut. President Obama understands the importance of a strong middle-class. He knows that the only way to take this country forward is by investing in an economy built to last. Instead of adding to the burden of the middle-class, President Obama will continue to invest in America’s future, by growing our economy from the middle out.
