Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) said on “Fox News Sunday” that Mitt Romney will not cut taxes on the rich, and echoed his campaign’s pledge to maintain the same burden on high incomes by closing tax loopholes.

“First of all, Governor Romney made it clear in the debate,” she said, “that he is not going to lower the burden on upper income individuals. We all know, Chris, that upper income individuals rely more heavily on deductions.”

She defended Romney’s refusal to identify any tax credits or deductions he would eliminate, insisting he would sort that out with Congress after he’s elected.
