Washington Post: Mitt Romney Tax Plan 'Garbage'

[Si modo]

It's just spam from Lakhota. Lakhota has no opinion of its own.

Actually, it's been a really interesting thread with a lot of worthwhile comments...up until the point you started spamming the thread, anyway.

If you don't find a thread interesting - just scroll past it!

Nah.

Wonder who is a better numbers man?

Alana Horowitz or Mitt Romney?


LOL

Weren't the same Republican faithful touting George Bush as a "businessman" before he entered politics?

I am sure Romey is a good businessman - but that doesn't necessarily mean he'd be good at running a government.

Establishing a sensible and workable tax program must be extremely difficult, and require enormously specialised skills. I would guess so, anyway.

btw, In your sigline - there is no such thing as the Kenyan language.

The presence of this Alana Horowitz is another example of how bad it's become for the print media. Especially the liberally biased print media.
These companies hire these young kids, pay them $25k per year and expect 'toe the editorial line' stories. No hard hitting news. No investigative journalism. Just lefty editorialized pieces. Newspapers in general have been down graded to the level of "never write a story that would take the average reader to get through before he or she gets off the toilet".

Maybe so - but until you explain why a tax plan which will cost the US $456 billion a year, starting in 2015 is a good thing - she wins.

If the best argument the right wing can muster in defence of Romey's policies is that you hate journalists, you aren't going to win many elections.

Both party's plans are going to fail this nation.

The Dems plan fails us all in the longer run.

The GOP's plan fails most of us immediately.

There's your choices, citizens.

Neither plan is likely to increase jobs in today's flat world. Both plans will likely increase the deficit but the Republican plan has the additional negative effect of further fueling the off shoring of jobs making it the worse choice.

I posted the OP at 8:36 PM - and the first wingnut response was one minute later. Wow, I wish I could digest information that quickly and respond intelligently...

we all WISH we didn't have to digest your shit AT ALL
It's the same crap with you people, it's alway the rich rich rich
your class warfare is wearing thin

Just once debate the merits of someone's post. It is not class warfare to discuss the effect on jobs and who benefits from the different tax proposals. It is called critical thinking which apparently exceeds your ability.

Save your breath. She's easily the dumbest person on this site. And it's not even close.

Where's the Democrat's "Tax Plan"????

Horty -

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Raise taxes on those making more than $250,000. Limit deductions for the wealthy. Make an expanded college tax credit permanent.

Sound familiar?

When it comes to taxes, President Obama's 2013 budget proposal released Monday includes a host of repeat performances.

In fact, many of the proposals he makes have appeared in every budget Obama has put out since taking office.

One addition this year: a so-called Buffett Rule to ensure that those making more than $1 million pay their "fair share," which President Obama has defined as paying at least 30% of their income in taxes.

But his budget proposal offers few new details about how the Buffett Rule would actually work, other than to say it would be "equitable, including not disadvantaging individuals who make large charitable contributions." The fiscal blueprint reiterates that the Buffett Rule is a guiding principle for overhauling the tax code.

So Saigon to your credit it is not apparent which plan you favor and why. For me both will increase the deficit and neither will drive jobs in todays model. The effect of eliminating capital gains is highly negative IMHO and it seems ridiculous millionaires like Romney should be paying around 13% total across income and payroll while the average citizen is paying around 40%.

It seems like the middle class is already reeling and the government isn't helping. While I don't like Obama's plan, I dislike it less than Romney/Ryan's plan.

how wonderful, Obama IS GOING TO RAISE YOUR TAXES people..after he said he wouldn't...he pulled this magic number of 250,000 out of his ass that should be taxed, well that will be MOST of the Small businesses in this country
and since when did a President get to DEFINE how much should or shouldn't be TAXED and then name it after some unelected (Buffet) billionaire of this country?

Lakota, I wouldn't merge the tax issue and the Medicare plan. Ryan is right on that one and anyone who is listening knows Obama thinks so also. He was more than willing to take on Medicare as part of the grand compromise. The fact they are using it now is just politics.
