I already know you’re unable to be objective, but are you unable to read as well? Romney did not advocate raising taxes. Romney talked about flattening taxes, which necessarily has to be done by removing or limiting deductions and lowering rates.
What would eliminating the deduction for mortgage interest on second homes do? I have no idea. I do know that second homes represent about 6% of the total market, so my guess is not that much. How much of that is purchased by people who finance isn’t something I know. What Romney means by “high earners” isn’t something I know either, but your “blue collar workers in Michigan” probably don’t qualify as “high earners.” I’m not worried about that. I would be worried if he advocated removing the mortgage interest deduction on primary residences like Democrats have done (and continue to do).
You can believe whatever you want about Romney, but if you seriously believe his administration would not be orders of magnitude better than the current one, you’re out of your mind.
Just be honest. It’s not that hard.

Thank you! With ALL the people on here willing to vote for Obama I’m really starting to wonder what’s happening here. We have to get rid of the immidiate threat and then hold the next threat to the fire. What is so hard for people to get?! We must stop this bickering about why not to vote for Mitt...he is, regardless what we think, the one. We have to defeat Obama...those who get this will and will work hard for the vote, and those who don’t can simply go ahead and quit. Your negativity and bashing at this point is meaningless to the process. Except if you are meaning to convince others to allow Obama to stay in. If you don’t like it then do us all a favor and at least stop cheerleading for obama!
You are totally correct. Romney would have never been my first, second or even third choice for president out of the possible candidates we had. But to compare him to Obama is much like comparing someone with a traffic ticket to a serial killer. I can’t even imagine that some people, especially folks here, think that Romney is no better for the country than Obama.
I live in Texas, and we have no state income tax, but if the tax cuts are enough to offset all/most of my property tax, then I can lose that deduction. I’d prefer a national sales tax, but that is just me. Get rid of the tax code and the IRS.
Please read post 71 to you and stop thinking you know everything about Romney.
He is giving talking points for Obama to use that will hurt chances of beating zero in the fall.
“Romney talked about flattening taxes, which necessarily has to be done by removing or limiting deductions and lowering rates.”
Why is that? Why doesn’t he advocate keeping deductions while lowering tax rates. Less money in federal hands and more money in the hands of people so it can flow back into the economy or be invested, or saved.
What is being advocated is just shifting who pays the taxes, it isn’t about lowering overall taxes. This is income redistribution. What is the catch word for that?????
