To the OP...

No where will you get any real evidence claiming that Romney plans to raise middle class taxes. The Romney/Ryan plan plan won't likely alter the personal tax rate for anyone...it will just continue the rate established from the Bush Tax Cuts and (hopefully) alter spending in accordance with the revenue brought in. The only definitive statements made have been that the corporate tax will be decreased to 20% and all capital gains taxes will be eliminated for those making less than 250k. Decreasing the corporate tax rate will put us in line with the rest of the post-industrial world. We have one of the highest corporate tax rates world-wide and it scares away business...ie jobs. Do more thorough research before making statements that you don't know anything about.

This will increase taxes for most people outside of the top bracket because most people use tax write-offs to lower their tax burden. We don't know what tax loop holes Romney will eliminate, but it means that taxes for the average person will increase.

Think about it
What a troll post. It's like yelling, "fire" in a crowded movie theater.

Oh... but you can even find articles about it on foxnews.com and cnn.com!

How about reading about Romney's tax plan for yourself, from the source, instead of reading crap then coming here and fabricating garbage?

The dumbing down of America is on display.

Rhetoric Aside, Few Details Of Romney's Tax Plan : NPR

You can even find articles on foxnews.com or cnn.com
that he can make up for the lost revenue by closing tax loopholes. But analysts have had a hard time testing Romney's claim because he hasn't offered many specifics.

Did you manage to see these words very early in your link? Is there a chance that many of those wealthy people he will cut taxes for just happen to be recently new house owners. I think that taxes are a bit more complicated, especially income taxes that either side wants to see.

Does anything appear in the link about the marriage tax that will go back into effect when the Bush - Obama tax cuts expire? That one gets to all of us who are married. I don't know about same sex married people but I sure do know about the rest of us.

Actually, they won't and Donald Trump is complaining about it. To lower the rates and eliminate tax deductions is the way forward.
