The choice on taxes.

Mitt Romney's plan: A twenty five percent tax cut for millionaires, tax breaks for oil companies and corporations that ship jobs overseas, but a tax hike for 18 million working families.

President Obama's plan: ask the wealthy to pay a little more so the middle class pays less, eliminate oil subsidies and tax breaks for companies that outsource."

Two plans. Your choice.

Vice President Joe Biden's Remarks at the 2012 National Council of La Raza Annual Conference in Nevada.

• Are you in?

In his remarks to The National Council of La Raza today, Vice President Joe Biden addressed Mitt Romney's refusal to release additional tax returns that could shed light on his offshore accounts and investments in foreign tax havens.

"And this is a man who says President Barack Obama is out of touch. Out of touch with the needs of the American people. This coming from a man who until recently had a Swiss bank account and millions of dollars invested in the Grand Cayman Islands beyond security -- beyond scrutiny. And President Obama is out of touch?

Mitt Romney is defying calls to release more than one year's worth of tax returns. The Romney campaign response? "Just take our word for it." So why is Mitt Romney hiding the rest of his tax returns? How long can Romney keep information on his investments in overseas tax havens secret? And why did he do it in the first place? Time will tell.

Mitt Romney, 10/11/2011: "The Chinese are smiling all the way to the bank ... taking our jobs and taking a lot of our future. And I am not willing to let that happen."

He made a fortune letting it happen. Newly published documents show Mitt Romney's firms were 'pioneers' at 'helping companies outsource their manufacturing' to countries including China.

Bragging they were 'A one-stop shop for their outsource requirements.'

Mitt Romney's not the solution. He's the problem.

Every woman who believes decisions about our bodies and our health care should be our own is troubled Mitt Romney supports overturning Roe versus Wade. Romney backed a law that outlaws all abortion -- even in cases of rape and incest. And that's not all.

What a president believes matters.

Mitt Romney's companies were pioneers in outsourcing US jobs to low-wage countries. He supports tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas.

President Obama believes in insourcing.

He fought to save the US auto industry, and favors tax cuts for companies that bring jobs home.

Outsourcing versus insourcing. It matters.
