BLACKWOOD, N.J. (AP) — Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton took aim at Donald Trump on taxes Wednesday and quickly found an unlikely ally: 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney. Clinton noted at a New Jersey campaign rally that Trump had yet to release his tax returns and said he would slash taxes for the nation's wealthiest people if elected president. Clinton and Romney called on Trump to release his tax returns following an Associated Press interview Tuesday, in which the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said he doesn't have an obligation to release the records and won't do so until an audit of his finances is completed. In challenging Trump on taxes, Clinton turned to a well-worn strategy that President Barack Obama used against Romney in 2012, pressuring him to release his personal taxes. While low-income and middle-income earners would also pay less — couples earning $50,000 or less would send in a one-page form to the IRS declaring, "I win" — the plan would disproportionately benefit the wealthy as well as Trump himself.
