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?

"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 Brookings Institution

Their studies will show whatever you want.

Just bring lots of cash.

Follow the money trail.

How could cutting a person’s taxes by 20% leave them worse off????

Next, won’t a business with a 20% cut employ some of those people?

“Republican U.S. presidential challenger Mitt Romney’s proposal to slash income taxes by 20 percent across the board would boost income for the wealthiest taxpayers while reducing it for the middle class, according to a nonpartisan analysis released on Wednesday.”

That is what the story says. but it makes no sense.
In fact, it is not the tax cuts that reduce after-tax income of the middle class, but the ending of certain deductions, according to the study. Ending deductions is a form of raising taxes. So, it is raising taxes, not lowering them, that reduces after-tax income.

How can you tell that the "centrist Tax Policy Center" is a left-wing front group?

Simple. The MSM calls them "centrist".

From Wikipedia:

The Tax Policy Center (TPC) is a partisan joint venture of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution.
Both of which, of course, describe themselves as "non-partisan". Right.

Have the tax cuts that are currently in place produced many jobs?

Didn't see a link to the report in the news story. On another forum I frequent, the libs are crowing about it. So I went and found the report here. Found something interesting very early on in the report:

This paper examines the tradeoffs among three competing goals that are inherent in a revenueneutral income tax reform—maintaining tax revenues, ensuring a progressive tax system, and lowering marginal tax rates. As a motivating example, we estimate the degree to which individual income tax expenditures would have to be limited to achieve revenue neutrality under the individual income tax rates and other features advanced in presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s tax plan, and how the required reductions in tax breaks could change the distribution of the tax burden across households. (We do not score Governor Romney’s plan directly, as certain components of his plan are not specified in sufficient detail, nor do we make assumptions regarding what those components might be.)

Look at that last line. They do NOT score Romney's plan directly because certain components are not specified in sufficient detail. Check out page 3 of the report where they discuss their modeling assumptions, in other words the number of assumptions they had to use in order to reach their conclusions. Not scoring the plan directly plus modeling assumptions, and THIS is their a-HA moment? Really?
