(2 posts)Obama needs to start emphasizing:
Mitt Romney's "job plan" is not a NEW, innovative plan. It is a RETURN to George Bush's "trickle down" policies for the wealthy. Also, a sure recipe to make us look like a South American country.
Think about it.
Romney has to make up his $5 Trillion tax cuts with tax increases -- because he wants to be "revenue neutral"
Where do those TAX hikes likely hit?
* The mortgage interest deduction will be reduced or eliminated just as home construction is coming back. This is no stimulus. It is the opposite.
* State income taxes will no longer be deductable
* Many charities will likely no longer be deductable.
These do hit the Middle Class harder.
Why does Romney say his tax cuts will help the Middle Class. Perhaps he is thinking only of the lower investment taxes (capital gains) taxes people pay. But that is only about 5% of their income.
If you add up ALL the taxes, they will likely pay far more, and the wealthy get ANOTHER big tax cut, on top of what George Bush gave them.
A sure recipe for a return to the PROBLEMS we say with George Bushs administration, and the future of our country.

(4,309 posts)That literally brought tears to my eyes. When I voted for Obama in "08 it was because I hated the direction the country was going in and I thought we desperately needed change. This year I'll be voting for him because he has EARNED my vote over the last 4 years.
