Harry Reid ties Romney comment to tax attack ('He could be 1 of those who paid no fed income taxes')
Source: Washington Post
Romney, he said, only wants to be president of half the United States of America a response to Romneys remark that 47 percent of Americans are victims who cannot be shaken from their dependence on government.
Reid said that Romney was disparaging toward and hoping to raise taxes on the elderly, the disabled, young students and members of the military.
The 47 percent are ordinary, hard-working Americans who deserve respect especially from a man who wants to be their president, Reid said. Theyre not avoiding their tax bills using Cayman Island tax shelters or Swiss bank accounts, like Mitt Romney.
Reid went on to suggested that Romney is not paying any such taxes. For all we know, Mitt Romney could be one of those who have paid no federal income taxes, he said.
