Romney's tax plan benefits rich at expense of middle class

Recommended Posts

stream.wsj.com/story/campaign-2012-continuous-coverage/SS-2-9156/SS-2-39745/

in.reuters.com/article/2012/08/01/usa-taxes-romney-idINL2E8IVHF720120801

According to a non-partisan study.

The report by the centrist Tax Policy Center found that Romney's tax cuts would boost after-tax income by an average of 4.1 percent for those earning more than $1 million a year, while reducing by an average of 1.2 percent the after-tax income of individuals earning less than $200,000.

...

Romney's tax proposal also includes cutting some taxes on investment income


Which is already far lower than tax on EARNED income.

Looks like he is just looking out for himself and his multi-millionaire buddies.

This is great news. The 49% that are freeloaders need to start paying their fair share.



Now wait a minute dude

You know damned well that the health care freeloaders are different than the non-fed-tax paying food stamp freeloaders

And dont you go mixing them up again

Hear?

Well Romney clearly supports a plan to increase my taxes, how on earth does that help me.

How about we waste less money for a start.

I agree with the waste less money part

The articles cited in the OP say Romney's plan will increase Fast's taxes. Do you disagree? If so, why did you seem to agree with GravityMaster?

Eliminating a deduction increases people's taxes. Even you can understand that.

Did you actually read AND comprehend the article? Thought not.

I'm sure you'd prefer Limbaugh to a non-partisan report and the WSJ. That figures.

Most of us know what your "non-partisan" really are

That last CBO report was supposed to be non-paritsan too

And we all know how that ended up

Too bad. Our politicians in their pathetc efforts to cater to our desire to have a society that is everything to everyone, where lazy people are free to be lazy and every whim is catered to has gotten us into the mess we are in. Anyone who thinks it isn't going to require everyone to start paying more taxes is as delusional as the ones who think it should all be laid on the backs of the job creaters.

This automatic equivalencing of the wealthy with "job creators" is totally bogus. Many of the wealthy have proven to be job destroyers. How many jobs have been lost on account of the actions of very wealthy Wall St. execs since 2007? How many has Bain outsourced?

But keep drinking the GOP Kool Aid.

[opposite spin]

Too bad. Our politicians in their pathetc efforts to cater to the ruling upper class have a society where the rich are free to steal without paying taxes and all their whims are catered to has gotten us into the mess we are in. Anyone who thinks it isn't going to require the rich to start paying more taxes is as delusional as the ones who think it should all be laid on the backs of the poor.

[/opposite spin]

And thus nothing will change.

I think we can come a common consensus. (unless we're just happy to stop with the short version above.....)


Too bad. Our politicians in their pathetc efforts to cater to {anyone that may vote at least once or twice (or more) or even have an effect on voting} to have a society where those voters are fooled into thinking they are free to steal without paying taxes and all their whims are catered to has gotten us into the mess we are in. Anyone who thinks we aren't going to require each and every citizen to start paying more taxes is as delusional as the ones who think it should all be laid on the backs of "everyone but me"

Too bad. Our politicians in their pathetc efforts to cater to {anyone that may vote at least once or twice (or more) or even have an effect on voting}Those that donate large amounts of money to their campaign in order to get what they want from the government to have a society where those voters contributors are fooled into thinking they are free to steal without paying taxes and all their whims are catered to has gotten us into the mess we are in. Anyone who thinks we aren't going to require each and every citizen to start paying more taxes is as delusional as the ones who think it should all be laid on the backs of "everyone but me"



FIFY

The politicians really don't care that much for the ordinary voters. Just those that make contributions towards their campaign.

I disagree and agree

disagree - they have to stay in power and that still requires votes.

agree - this is weird - I wrote "or even have an effect on voting" was specifically to give the nod to contributors having a disproportionate affect - weird, I actually did consciously do that


so no fix needed, thanks for playing

Yep. Fortunately both are fairly extreme positions; most people are a lot more reasonable than either statement.



agree - but it doesn't really seem that way when you listen to people around here

No, and I think it's more perception than anything else. A lot of right wingers really do think there's a large group of people out there popping out kids just so they can stay on welfare and buy big screen TV's. A lot of left wingers really do think there's this monolithic rich upper class who gloats over all the peons they can fire that day (while laughing all the way to the bank with Shah's money, of course.)
