"The Tax Policy Center released an analysis today showing that, contrary to Romney’s rhetoric, the overwhelming majority of the benefits under the plan would go to the wealthy. In fact, compared to the policy in place today, Romney’s plan would give millionaires a $150,000 tax cut, while raising taxes on many low-income families"

No thanks Mittens..Not sure why a liberal like Willard would try and propose a tax plan like this..Maybe he'll flip-flop.

The Obama debt commission said that taxes needed to be raised on those who dont pay any. Are you telling me Obama was wrong?

ThinkProgress is not exactly objective.
An increase in taxes of about $19/week is not exactly exorbitant for that upper 20% of low income earners.

Yes, because how else will the rich keep getting richer? They need to keep every cent possible. The rest will pay more.

I'm not sure you quoted that correctly..Millionaires are amongst the many that don't pay ANY.

Yes..it is and it says a lot that you and Mittens don't know that. It also says a lot that the first two respondents ignored the fact that people who don't need tax cuts would get them while those struggling would have to pay more..WOW

Given that 47% of this country (including the entirety of the "low income families") pay nothing, even making them pay 10 cents would technically be "raising taxes".

Again, why are you focusing on the little people? Why do the wealthiest deserve another tax break?

It is getting sickening.It seems the republicans can only blame people on unemployment,people on food stamps,and the working poor for all this countries problems.Not to mention that unions and good paying jobs are ruining the country.They have totally come out of the closet,and no longer hide the fact that they want the rich to totally rule america.
