To see where the presidential candidates stand on taxing the rich, just look at how they'd tax themselves.
Under his own proposal, Mitt Romney would pay half what he would under President Obama's tax plan.
For a man of Romney's means, that could save almost $5 million a year.
Romney wants to lower current tax rates for everyone by 20 percent.
This benefits the wealthy most: Dropping the highest bracket from 35 percent to 28 percent, for example, yields a much bigger savings for those at the top than lowering the 15 percent bracket to 12 percent brings for taxpayers in that group.
Romney also would eliminate the alternative minimum tax, which hits the rich...
To help offset the government's losses from lower rates, Romney says he would end some tax breaks. But he hasn't said which ones, so it's impossible to calculate the effect.
Romney's savings for the wealthy come at the expense of everyone else.
