The new whine from Republican Presidential candidates and the RNC:
"The Liberal Media is to blame.......we only get asked gotcha questions"....which they claim didn't happen in the Democratic debate." Yet the Faux News held debate was a Republican TV station with Republican moderators and the candidates still managed to have a food fight.
Debates are supposed to help voters determine which candidate is best suited to be President, if one of them has skeletons that are going to hurt them later, don't the voters want to know it? Do the Republican candidates only want "give me your talking points" questions?
Carson was asked to explain his flat tax plan as the numbers don't seem to add up....all he could answer was after loopholes and deductions are eliminated it would balance out.....however, the experts don't agree...and it seems his tax plan only benefits the wealthy. But, was that a "gotcha" question? I don't think so.
But on Sunday, host Chris Wallace confronted Carson with tax experts, who found that to raise the same amount of revenue the federal government currently takes in, the government would have to impose a 20 percent tax across the board. (The Tax Policy Center argues it would have to be at least 25 percent.) “Middle incomes would get a tax hike and wealthy families would get a tax cut,” Wallace explained. Carson countered that he simply didn’t “agree with that assessment.” He then admitted that according to the economists he’s consulted, if loopholes and deductions are eliminated, it would still have to be between 10 and 15 percent — but it wouldn’t be 20 percent.
Wallace followed up by asking about low-income families, who not only don’t pay taxes, but usually receive an earned income tax credit instead. “Now you’ll have them pay 10 to 15 percent of income they have — or 20 percent if my experts are right. A lot of independent studies say the people that make like bandits in this are the wealthy.”
Ben Carson Unable To Answer Simple Question About His Tax Plan
When Trump was asked if he was runing a "comic book version" of a campaign based on his fantasy promises, instead of telling us how he is going to make Mexico pay for it, he answers "a politician can't, but I can" ....
Trump and Carson are the ones doing the most whining....and they're the ones with the most support???
The Republican Presidential candidates have been blaming the liberal media for quite some time.....(remember Gingrich and Tiffany's) - they can't handle the pressure from questions regarding their personal actions and proposed promises and they want to be "President"? I find that amusing.
