Romney is going to cut out tax deductions for the middle class

Here is what a real middle class tax hike looks like. Cut the tax rate to a rate close to what most middle class taxpayers pay and then take away the moochers tax deductions like earned income credits and home mortgage interest deductions.

Then he is going to get to work on the top one percent giving them huge tax breaks paid for by the estimated $2000 dollars middle class tax payer, will pay, above their current tax liability. Now that is what you call income redistribution.

Romney has to win Ohio and he goes before a middle class crowd and tells them he is going to stick it in and break it off. I have lost count of the gaffes.

Whew I was worried....I thought for a second he was going to soak the rich....looks like he is just going to soak the middle class. Seems like some of the people quoted in the article do not have the intellectual acumen to see through the haze. What kills me is the one guy who states he is not clear on what sort of deductions Romney wants to make but will support him anyway....if he has a mortgage I guess he does not care if Romney targets his interest and tax deduction . Duh...

It's part of the plan. Do away with the mortgage deduction, decrease home ownership, deliver more customers to the propertied class.

Regards,

More pining for the Gilded Age claptrap from the Repubs. It's a damn good thing they're going down in flames this election. I'm pining for the Eisenhower tax rates on the rich. 90% over a million wasn't it?

Saw Steve Wynn, of Wynn Resorts, on teevee the other day. He supported Obama in '08, but, says he now supports Romney because he believes ".....guys like me shouldn't have to pay taxes at all."

It kind of reminds me of Leona Helmsley when she told the judge, "Taxes are for the little people anyways."

It amazes me that anyone still thinks a wealthy corporatist like Romney and his buds really care about this country or it's people. You've got to have a skull 3" thick to honestly believe such a thing. We're nothing but sheep fattened for the slaughter to those guys. And, we want to encourage them to be even more selfish and greedy? Give them more freedom to just take whatever they want from us?

"Yeah, f**k the little people!!!!! How many jobs have THEY ever created? Ha, Ha!!!!"

Uhhhhhh, that's US, you dolt.

Regards,
Dave
