Axelrod: Romney would pay fewer taxes under Ryan plan
Axelrod: Romney would pay fewer taxes under Ryan plan
By JEDD ROSCHE |
Obama Campaign strategist David Axelrod reminded Americans on Sunday about Republican Mitt Romney's tax returns, saying the former Massachusetts governor might even pay less taxes if Rep. Paul Ryan's proposed change to the tax code was enacted.
"Congressman Ryan had a proposal in 2010. If you took Gov. Romney's tax returns and applied the changes that Congressman Ryan wanted to make to the tax system, Gov. Romney would pay less than 1 percent on his taxes," Axelrod said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” .
Romney's tax returns have taken a backseat over the past couple days amid speculation and the eventual vice presidential pick of Ryan. On the pick, Axelrod sought to tie Romney to Ryan's budget plan.
