Priorities USA Action, the pro-Obama super PAC, and the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees People (AFSCME People) together released a new radio ad attacking Mitt Romney’s ’47 percent’ comments and tying them to both his personal tax rate and tax plan. 

The ad plays a clip of Romney’s ’47 percent’ remarks, then the narrator says:

Romney is a millionaire who uses loopholes to pay a lower tax rate than many nurses or police. Romney’s plan makes middle class families pay more – two thousand dollars a year – while giving multi-millionaires a tax cut of two hundred fifty thousand dollars. Mitt Romney’s just not looking out for us.

The ad will begin running this week in Ohio and Virginia as the first ad in a $1.25 million radio campaign through election day.
