Romney and Ryan sat down with 60 Minutes to tell us that they will not lower tax rates for the rich:
Romney's tax plan would lower top marginal rate to 28%.
Ryan's tax plan would lower top marginal rate to 25%.

If you go to Romney's website it flat out states that he wants to lower all marginal tax rates. Is this a flip flop or a blatent lie? Right now I'd say pants on fire.

And the commitment that I've made is, we will not have the top income earners in this country pay a smaller share of the tax burden. The highest income people will continue to pay the largest share of the tax burden and middle income tax payers, under my plan, get a break. Their taxes come down, so we're not going to reduce taxes for high income people and we are going to reduce taxes for middle income people.
