Presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney has written an open letter to President Obama in the op-ed pages of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Obama is scheduled to kick off his re-election campaign at a stop in Ohio on Saturday. In the letter, Romney chides Obama as a “career politician” whose “policies have failed, not only in Ohio, but across the nation.”
Our taxes are too high, and our government is too big. I will cut individual tax rates by 20 percent across the board to jump-start job creation, grow the economy and help Americans keep more of their hard-earned dollars. I will reform a corporate tax system that drives American jobs overseas. I will slash the needless regulations that crimp our energy supply and inhibit so many different kinds of businesses. In the year I was born, unemployment was 3.9 percent. When I turned 21, it was 3.6 percent. We can do so much better than we have been doing.
