The Washington Post's editorial board mocked Mitt Romney's tax plan on Sunday.
"Mitt Romney, the presumed Republican nominee for president, promises to lower everyones income tax rate without reducing revenue. This sounds terrific. Why didnt we think of it sooner?"
The editorial, titled 'Mitt Romney's garbage', argued that Romney's plan to cut taxes and lower the deficit is unfeasible.
"Its reasonable to assume that his cuts would, as did President Bushs, worsen the nations deficit. Until hes willing to explain how he would avoid such a result, he has little standing to criticize Mr. Obamas fiscal shortcomings."
The piece also took issue with Romney's claim that his plan to cut taxes by 20% for everyone helps the middle class and not the rich.
A recent study found that Romney's plan would mostly benefit the wealthiest Americans. Romney called the findings "garbage."
