Vice President Biden to Attack "Romney Rule" on Taxes

http://news.yahoo.com/biden-attack-romney-rule-taxes-100155811--abc-news-politics.html

Vice President Joe Biden will attack Mitt Romney on taxes in Exeter, N.H. today, using his fourth in a series of campaign issue speeches to frame the Republican candidate as a protector of the rich.

Biden will coin a new phrase - "the Romney Rule" - to illustrate his case, according to excerpts of his remarks released by the Obama campaign.

"The Buffett Rule says that multi-millionaires should pay at least the same percentage of their income in taxes as middle-class families do," Biden will say.

"The Romney Rule says the very wealthy should keep the tax cuts and loopholes they have, and get an additional, new tax cut every year that is worth more than what the average middle class family makes in an entire year."
