Why would I care that the middle class pays more in taxes? Let me see, perhaps it's because the middle class' spending drives the economy? And with higher taxes to pay they will spend less? You want me to explain how (and Mitt even made a point of it) that middle class income is going down, but it's right to burden them with a higher tax bill? Are you serious?
Proportionally it is the same. If I take $100 from one person and $10 from another, and I reduce that to $90 from the first and $9 from the second, I have done the same thing for each of them proportionally. The cut for the high earners would nominally be larger than the cut for the lower earners because the lower earners are paying far less to start with. If anything you can say Romney still favors the low earners by this kind of tax reduction/reform by wanting to keep the higher earners paying a far larger nominal amount and far larger percent than the low earners.
So first you say Romney wants to reduce the middle class tax brackets by 20% then you say he wants them to pay more taxes? I'm not a mathematician but that doesn't add up.
BBL to continue fighting liberal distortion and misinformation after history exam (yay).

Because you don't comprehend deductions and credits. You haven't a single clue on how the US tax system even works.

When you have less deductions and credits, your tax bill goes up. If you are unable to grasp this fact, there's no further point in responding to you.
There's no point in responding to you when you can't get that a 20% tax cut is not a tax increase, especially when the deductions for lower and middle class will remain unchanged. It's the more rich you get that you get fewer deductions. I fail to see how you think that's an increase.

Family with children making under 50k a year. Their federal income tax bill is <= 0 due to credits and deductions. When those go away, tell me what happens to their tax bill.
I'll give you a hint: it goes greater than 0. Any percent cut of a number greater than zero is still greater than zero.
You get it yet?

interesting read
Hell No, I am not going to give my vote to either Romney nor Obama, I will vote for Gary Johnson, because he is the best choice and the voting system will never work unless people start taking the smaller political parties seriously and put an end to the stigma of voting for one of them.
Of course if Ron Paul would have beaten Romney in the primaries I would of been voting republican, but then again I vote for the person not the party.
Gary Johnson.
Too bad we don't have an alternate vote system.
Right. Obama had his shot he failed. Everything is worse. Congress didn't obstruct him because he went around them and the supreme court many times breaking the law as he did so. As to businesses creating jobs uh who do you think owns businesses smart guy? Rich individuals. Thats why they are rich. Microsoft creates jobs. Bill gates owns microsoft. Hence bill gates created the jobs. Every business today was started by a rich individual. And yes giving tax breaks to the rich will create jobs and strengthen the economy. Its been proven time and time again. obamas plan is to throw money away on bailouts which don't work and have been proven time and time again not to work. Anyone who votes for obama after he has made the country worse in the last 4 years hates america.
Daftone: There is so much wrong with your post.
1) If he went around SCOTUS, why haven't they ruled his actions unconstitutional?
2) You think only rich individuals start businesses? Have you ever heard of loans? In addition, business owners never risk their personal assets with their business. They incorporate.
PS: Take a course in Economics. Having capital doesn't create jobs. Having demand for your products / services does. If you have massive amounts of capital and no demand because consumers have no money to spend, you're not going to create jobs. This is why trickle-down does not work.

No option for third parties so thread disregarded.
Obama and Romney are both disgusting individuals and if you think otherwise you're probably delusional or malicious. I'm not voting for corporate goons that are willing to take away our civil liberties piece by piece.
