Safe Mode: On
Romney Tax Plan - Rigged for The Rich

"Mitt Romney's plan to overhaul the tax code would produce cuts for the richest 5 percent of Americans — and bigger bills for everybody else, according to an independent analysis set for release Wednesday.

The study was conducted by researchers at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, who seem to bend over backward to be fair to the Republican presidential candidate. To cover the cost of his plan — which would reduce tax rates by 20 percent, repeal the estate tax and eliminate taxes on investment income for middle-class taxpayers — the researchers assume that Romney would go after breaks for the richest taxpayers first...".* Cenk Uygur and Ben Mankiewicz discuss on The Young Turks.

      Dont play it, free screen shot dick. Im living good and I earn quite well. Romney and his type cornered the market and wont allow anyone to enter. Fuk him, he was born rich and connected just like any other rich bitch. Mormon cocksuckers didn;t even allow non whites to enter their Church, and you want his type to lead this country. Yeah fuking right dick!

      Free screen shot? You like free i can tell.

      listening to your contempt for the rich, i doubt you do well.

      LOL at your closet racism just say you hate whitey and stop crying about whitey hating you.

      Put the controller down and get off your lazy ass. I have a lawn that needs mowing and you can pick up dog shit for 5 bucks an hour like the rest of your ilk.

  • I am so sick of the rape the rich to give to the poor mentality.

    This ass backwards, Robin Hood tale is all messed up.

    Robin Hood stole money from the government, King Richard, not the people.

    Just make EVERYONE pay the same rates.

    If you are poor you pay your part, if you are in the middle you pay your part, and if you are rich you pay your part. And by "your part" I mean a full on flat tax with no deductions.

    I know there are sacred cow deductions, and I use the home one, bu More..

  • Look, it's quite obvious what the Tea Party wants. They're not even trying to obfuscate it anymore. Either you agree with their agenda, or you don't. I think most folks already understand what's at stake (for them), and they will vote accordingly.

  • Whatever. You know, I take my earnings and divide by two. The UK is probably a little bit worse. So be it. No need to bitch. It is what it is. I throw a shitload on charity. If I'm going to spend money, I'll blow it on charity vs. the government.

    • @mlivsey ...careful with charities too. I like the United Way because they spend the time fully investigate the organizations they sponsor - oh, and the YMCA.

    • @Nepean109

      I also re-invest a boatload. If I'm going to blow money, I'm going to blow it on myself. Best investment around. Re-invest vs. taxes? I'll take re-investment thank you very much. I can do a buttload more with that.

  • more bullshit liberal cliches. Tell us more about how we need roads and bridges and "investments" in education, and how the Republicans are racist, sexist, bigots and homophobes who just want to help the rich and punish the poor. Fuck off, you don't have an original thought in your collectivist heads
