Mitt: Math does add up: Pressed by NBC's David Gregory in an interview that aired Sunday on “Meet the Press”…. “Governor, where are the specifics of how you get to this math?” Gregory asked. “Isn't that an issue?”
“Well, the specifics are these which is those principles I described are the heart of my policy,” Romney replied. “And I've indicated as well that contrary to what the Democrats are saying I'm not going to increase the tax burden on middle income families. It would absolutely be wrong to do that.”
Asked to identify a tax loophole that he would close, Romney replied: “Well, I can tell you that people at the high end, high-income taxpayers, are going to have fewer deductions and exemptions. Those numbers are going to come down. Otherwise, they'd get a tax break. And I want to make sure people understand, despite what the Democrats said at their convention, I am not reducing taxes on high income taxpayers.”
