The most important set of connected issues is here:
The rich people with several expensive properties, plush vacations every few weeks, fleet of luxury vehicles, and so forth, do not need a tax cut.
Standard of living, mental aptitude, health insurance, training, knowledge, and rate of full employment of the majority of households declined throughout the several decades of tax cuts in the USA.
The tax cuts from 1980 until today have proven to not work in raising the standard of living of the majority of Americans.
Simply these are the facts

Romney's tax proposal was vague at best and promised too many things that it couldn't deliver.
On the whole I think this was one of the biggest reasons he lost. It allowed his opponents to just hammer away at the, "...the math doesn't work," argument every chance they got. Afaik there was no math to work, so it made it impossible to favorably rebut it. Had he had a concrete plan where the math worked even only under the best circumstances it would have come across much better than a mythical plan that may or may not work.
Other stuff probably contributed, but I think this specifically sucked out any momentum he might have had going into the home stretch.

The party that signed documents promising no tax increases ever but have a track record on spending cuts no better than their counterpart party.
