Via Politico’s Morning Score:
SNEAK PEEK – MOVEON AD HITS ROMNEY ON BUFFETT RULE: A new 30-second animated TV ad from MoveOn.org plays off of the Lolcats meme to challenge Romney’s opposition to the Buffett Rule and accuses him of letting “fat cats rig the system.” The ad, which literally features cartoon cats, will run on kitty-themed shows on Animal Planet. They are not disclosing the buy size. Watch: http://bit.ly/HNhiqw.
The script:
President Obama’s Buffett Rule would require millionaires and billionaires to pay the same tax rate as the rest of us.
The Romney Rule lets fat cats rig the system, so they pay less and pass on the burden to hardworking Americans like you and me.
When the wealthiest 1% pay a fair tax rate like the rest of us, it keeps the American Dream alive for everyone. So tell Mitt Romney, kittens are cute. 1% fat cats who won’t pay their fair share, eh, not so much.
The spot:
All together now: GOP opposition to the Buffett Rule is a Lolcatastrophe.
Feel better now?
A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon…
