Santorum Unloads On “Occupier” Romney
Zeke Miller
ST. CLAIR SHORES, Michigan—Sen. Rick Santorum struck a sharper tone on the campaign trail today, criticizing Mitt Romney for questioning his conservative values and calling him an "Occupy Wall Street adherent."
"It’s absolutely laughable to have a liberal governor of Massachusetts say that I am not a conservative," Santorum said, attacking Romney's tax plan. “We have a candidate for president who is campaigning as an Occupy Wall Street adherent.”
"He doesn't understand how America works any more than Barack Obama understands how America works," Santorum said, about Romney's plan to cap wealthy individuals' ability to deduct charitable contributions.
Sure enough Romney did utter the dreaded phrase "
the one percent" when talking about limiting charitable and mortgage deductions for top earners.
Romney’s Tax Plan Still A Boon To Rich, Despite 1% Talk

Romney said earlier on Wednesday. “And by the way, I want to make sure you understand that, for middle income families, the deductibility of home mortgage interest and charitable contributions will continue. But for high income folks, we are going to cut back on that, so we make sure the top 1% pay their fair share or more.”
In addition, the proposal still includes many of the same components that led the Tax Policy Center to conclude that his original plan would constitute an enormous boon for the wealthiest Americans.
Occupy Wall Street Adherent?
This sounds like Sanatorum is getting desperate to cut into Romney's lead in the polls. Does Rick Santorum seriously expect Republicans believe that Mitt Romney is an O.W.S. adherent?
