At a campaign appearance in Charlotte, N.C., Biden criticized Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for proposing policies that Biden said would cut taxes for millionaires and raise them for middle-class families.

 

Calling his objection "deadly earnest," Biden asked how Republicans "can justify raising taxes on a middle class that has been buried the last four years?

 

A Romney spokeswoman said she "couldn't agree more." She added that the middle class has been "buried" under President Barack Obama's policies.
