Mitt Romney, speaking at a private fundraising event on Sunday, offered the first details of deductions he would eliminate or limit in order to offset the income tax cut he has proposed for all taxpayers.

How exactly was this missed? It's the first line of the article. I know people love to hate Romney, but you can't be troubled to read even one line? Sorry, didn't mean to inject any common sense here. Complain all you want, but this looks like a step towards a flat tax.

It’s all about hating Romney, don’t you know? People hate Romney more than obama. Me? I’ve NEVER hated anyone until obama came along.

“Mitt Romney, speaking at a private fundraising event on Sunday, offered the first details of deductions he would eliminate or limit in order to offset the income tax cut he has proposed for all taxpayers.”

Did you read the headline the WSJ placed on this article?

It said Rmoney was talking up more taxes not less.

What do you think this proposal will do to the real estate market and homebuilding?

Do you think disallowing mortgage deductions like he is proposing will improve or worsen this?

All this fool is doing is going along with the Obama narrative in making things more expensive for those who can afford it.

He is demeaning all Americans who strive to do better for themselves by saying they don’t deserve it because the govt pie needs it given to them.

Do you see this as an improvement over the one now in office?

There are many blue collar workers in places like Michigan that have a second house. Do you think this will sway them to vote for Romney?

Only RomneyBots read that line and since you read it, you must be a RINO ROMNEYBOT!!!!!

you dont have to OFFSET tax cuts! they pay for themselves by growing the economy!!!

Only liberals believe that tax cuts have to be “paid for”

This is BS. How many second mortgages are out there? Enough to grow the economy?

I want to hear about the big things he's going to do. I want to hear about conservative policies that will grow the economy not where he's putting the 2nd mortgage deck chair vs. the state tax deduction deck chair.

I want to hear, how he will grow the private sector instead of public sector by cutting regulations at all levels. I want him to explain how cutting taxes to the private sector puts more in their pocket which puts more money in the economy to invest as each citizen sees fit. I want to hear how giving money to GIANT GOVERNMENT is just laundering hard won tax payer money. I want him to prove with stats how Kennedy's and Reagan's policies grew the economy and how Socialist Policies the WORLD OVER have failed to do that.

To date I have heard NADA!

He needs to step up and represent what historically have been very successful policies here at home and abroad.

Complain all you want, but this looks like a step towards a flat tax.

Existing credits, including the child credit are far more insidious than any state income tax deduction. I don't think anyone will have the guts to challenge credits, though.
