Okay, douchebag. Here it is from Huffington Post on Feb 22: MESA, Ariz. — Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Wednesday called for 20 percent across-the-board cuts in personal income tax rates as part of a program to help the economy grow. Under the proposal, the top tax rate would drop from 35 percent to 28 percent, and some popular breaks would be scaled back for upper-income taxpayers, although aides provided scant details. huffingtonpost.com If you want to argue that in the course of the debate in Feb he didn't make the full statement, fine -- but the "plan" as it now defined is the same as it was then. There was no reason at the time for him to provide further details, and he shouldn't have, since by the time any such legislation gets through Congress it is ALWAYS going to be way, way different from what the candidate proposed. Regardless of what you think of Romney's proposal, no one in his right mind thinks Obama's is as good -- which is, basically, to raise taxes during a depression. More than half of economists surveyed by CNN agree with Romney's tax plan. Less than 1/3 agreed with Obama's.
