well.. since the well off pay disporportionately more in taxes, they should get a disporportional benefit from an across the board cut.

Let’s face it, relying on either of the Bush’s economic advisers is not the best thing to do.

I just received my tax return for 2011 back from the IRS. It puzzles me!!!

They are questioning how many dependents I claimed. I guess it was because of my response to the question: “List all dependents?”

I replied: 12 million illegal immigrants; 3 million crack heads; 42 million unemployed people on food stamps, 2 million people in over 243 prisons; Half of Mexico; and 535 persons in the U.S. House and Senate.”

Evidently, this was NOT an acceptable answer. I KEEP ASKING MYSELF, WHOM DID I MISS?

Anything involving the Brookings Institute is neither centrist nor nonpartisan.

Article calls this group Centrist?

"The rich" don't spend all their money on trinkets.

They invest their money in businesses that create SUSTAINABLE jobs, that is jobs that generate profit.

Government jobs are UNSUSTAINABLE. They generate no profit. Every government job created destroys three private-sector jobs.

I'm all for "the rich" creating more jobs.

Why are you against "the rich" creating more jobs?

Remove punative, anti-business regulations that stifle investment and then see what happens.

The left and so-called progressives are predominantly liars.

The Niddle Class are the ones who expect to have what you have, but are not willing to WORK for it.

Romeny's plan may hurt offend these folks.

“Reuters” + “non-partisan analysis” = DNC talking points..

“Study” = DNC talking points with graphs and tables....
