The upcoming presidential debates will be crucial for Mitt Romney, Bill Clinton said in an interview set to air tonight on CNN. Clinton added on Romney’s recent “47 percent” remarks:
“… I think if he’s going to double down on that 47 percent remark, that will cause difficulties, because we now know the overwhelming number of those people work and have children, and the reason they don’t pay federal income taxes is that median income is as low as it was in 1995 now, and until the current election season, Republicans and Democrats supported both the child tax credit and the earned income tax credit,” Clinton said. “This is a rejection of basically more than three decades of bipartisan policy to support working families… it’s not a bunch of freeloaders.”
