>>> If it was Maddow or Obermann, wingers would be chortling that it was God's wrath. Can you provide an example where this has happened before? While it is typical for leftwingers (as in the "I wish he would die" hatred toward Cheney) I've never witnessed this from those on the Right. In general, those on the Right are far more respectful in these matters than leftwing nutjobs.

Mitt Romney's new tax plan would mean lower taxes for most Americans. But some would benefit more than others. According to a new analysis from the Tax Policy Center, wealthy Americans would see their taxes fall precipitously under Mitt Romney's new plan -- which scraps the Alternative Minimum Tax and cuts marginal tax rates by 20% [iframe allowtransparency="true" hspace="0" vspace="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://ads.cnn.com/html.ng/site=cnn_money&cnn_money_position=220x200_ctr&cnn_money_rollup=business_news&cnn_money_section=quigo&page.allowcompete=no¶ms.styles=fs&page.allowcompete=yes&tile=1330646858425&page.allowcompete=yes&domId=274798" border="0" frameborder="0" height="200" width="220" scrolling="no" id="274798" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; position: relative; visibility: visible; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "][/iframe] Assuming the Bush tax cuts are extended, the Romney plan would give the top 1% of earners an average tax cut of $150,000, a 7.8% reduction in their average federal tax rate, according to the Tax Policy Center. Americans in the middle 20% of income-earners would get an average tax cut of $810, a 1.4% tax rate reduction. Those making $1 million or more would receive an average tax cut of $250,000, an 8.1% tax rate reduction, while the average American would get $2,800, a 3.5% rate drop. The plan would also add to the deficit -- $480 billion in calendar year 2015 alone, according to the study.
