Mitt Romney's Idea of Tax Fairness
Mitt Romney has a strange take on tax fairness. Romney's plan would cut taxes even more for himself—and raise them on the middle class.

Fair Share
When Mitt Romney dismissed 47% of Americans for not pulling their weight, he attacked millions of hard working people making 25, 35, 45 thousand dollars a year. They pay social security taxes. State taxes. Local taxes. Gas, sales, and property taxes. Romney paid just 14 percent in taxes last year. On over 13 million in income. Almost all from investments.
Mitt Romney's Education Record in Massachusetts
Educators share how Mitt Romney's single term as Massachusetts governor resulted in increased classroom sizes, school budget cuts, higher fees and less out-of-school services for students.
As Ronald, a former superintendent from Attleboro, MA explains: "Governor Romney said that he was not going to cut education. And then the next thing we knew those cuts were made."
Cynthia's Story
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have pledged to defund Planned Parenthood, cutting off women's access to preventive care including cancer screenings and birth control; and have promised to shut down the nation's family planning program that more than five million people a year rely on for birth control, cancer screenings, and other care. They have also vowed to overturn Roe v. Wade and end safe and legal abortion, and have said they support extreme "personhood" measures that would give full constitutional rights to fertilized eggs.
No Taxes
Voiceover: "Mitt Romney attacked 47% of Americans who pay no income tax-- including veterans, elderly, the disabled."
Mitt Romney: "My job is not to worry about those people."
Not One of Us
Voiceover:
"Seen these new ads, where Mitt Romney says he's a friend of coal country? This is the guy who wants to keep tax breaks for companies that ship American jobs overseas. The same guy who had a Swiss bank account...and millions in tax havens like Bermuda and the Caymans. And on coal?"
"Well, here's what he said as Governor, outside a coal fired power plant."
Romney:
"...I will not create jobs or hold jobs that kill people...and that plant, that plant kills people..."
