A senior Romney adviser admits not done good job explaining difference in tax plans...

Seems to me, he hasn't done a good job explaining his own personal tax plan.

WASHINGTON -- A senior adviser to Republican Mitt Romney admitted on Monday that the campaign has not done a good job of explaining how Romney's plan for taxes is different from that of President Obama.

"I'm not sure that voters really understand the differences between the plans that Romney has and Obama has, and I think that's one thing we're committed to trying to do moving forward is defining the differences between the two candidates on taxes," said Neil Newhouse, Romney's chief pollster, on a conference call with reporters.

Obama has delivered a simple message, saying Romney would give tax cuts to the rich and raise taxes on the middle class to pay for it. Obama wants to raise taxes on those with higher incomes.

Romney's plan is to lower rates for all brackets, and pay for it in large part by closing corporate and individual loopholes. But he has refused to say which loopholes he would close, and so Obama has filled in these gaps for him, alleging that he would eliminate exemptions for middle-class households such as the mortgage interest deduction, or the exclusion for employer-provided health insurance.
