Quote:That’s what Romney and Ryan are selling. They promise they can cut taxThe link to the full article
rates and eliminate enough loopholes to maintain the same revenue
without touching any of the credits or deductions—mortgage interest,
charitable contributions, medical expenses, health insurance, child
credits, state and local taxes—that might hurt the middle class. They
won’t tell you how they’ll do this, because that information might
affect your vote and thereby get in the way of true democracy—which, as
we all know, consists of a post-election negotiation between the Romney
administration, a Republican Congress, and year-round Washington tax
lobbyists who represent ordinary folks like you. If you buy that, you’ll
learn the hard way what W.C. Fields taught 76 years ago: Never give a sucker an even break.
I also have a problem with Romney's vision of government...deregulate everything and have an immense military establishment. Sounds like what he wants is like imperial Britain of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
