Study: Romney plan raises taxes on poor families

January 5, 2012 03:13 PM EST | AP

WASHINGTON — A new independent study says Republican Mitt Romney\'s tax plan would increase taxes on low-income families while cutting taxes for the middle-class and the rich.

The study by the Tax Policy Center says, on average, households making less than $20,000 would see their taxes increase by more than 60 percent by letting tax cuts enacted under President Barack Obama expire. Those tax cuts target low-income families.

The study by the independent research group says people making more than $1 million would get tax cuts averaging 15 percent.
