So the study Romney is promoting — the one he says is the study you should be looking at — actually shows even under the most favorable assumptions possible, he’s going to have to raise taxes on the people he defines as the middle class. In saying that that study is credible, he has admitted he can’t make his tax promises add up. And yet he constantly, repeatedly says the opposite. (italics inserted)

So the people on the lower rungs of wealth are going to be taxed more to cut the tax liability of the top 1% or two.

And a lot of those lower wealth households will vote for Romney believing that he is going to cut their taxes, when he is counting on raising them.

Odd, that many such voters despise Obama as a "socialist" when it is Romney who is going to redistribute their income to the plutocracy above them.
