OVEN MITT'S REAL PROBLEM

“The billionaires and oil companies funding the attack ads are desperate to stop President Obama’s plan that would ask them to pay their fair share in taxes to reduce our debt and create jobs. Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, and Karl Rove will spend millions on false television ads because they know that the American public strongly supports the President’s plan that will finally ensure billionaires do not pay a lower tax rate than middle class families. No fair-minded American thinks that someone like Mitt Romney should pay an estimated 14 percent tax rate while hardworking Americans are paying far more.” If Romney becomes the GOP nominee, Obama’s outside allies (if not the Obama campaign itself) will turn Romney himself into the public face of the very sort of tax unfairness Obama is seeking to rectify. This is one of Romney’s unexplored vulnerabilities.
