My only bone of contention is you dont run on lowering taxes or not raising them and then somehow sneak in the backdoor an increase on the middle class. So if a ryan type budget is passed and taxes are kept at bay thats fine. But then somehow middle class earners end up paying more. I dont see the rich in this country suffering. The war in this country is clearly on those in the middle. It has been for many many years. Is it part of a systematic plan to squeeze this class out? I would hope not.
That's the main problem with the Romney and Ryan plans. While they say there are tax cuts across the board they say they will pay for them by closing loopholes. Only they are vague about the loopholes they are going to close. Many of the middle class depend on these loopholes for added income. If some like the child credit and morgtage interest are closed it is simply a tax increase on the middle class.
What will happen in a Romney presidency is, the tax cuts will pass, because they're easy to pass; the only loopholes that will get closed are the ones that don't have a powerful enough lobby working for them to keep them in place.
When the big donors, who got Romney elected, start telling Romney which loopholes they don't want closed,
Romney will listen. That's how politics works.
