I asked a simple question

Posted: Oct 10, 2012

I asked if someone could help me find Romney's tax plan. Only one person was able to help by sending me to the Romney site after a whole lot of unhelpful comments about my research skills. Thank you to that person. (Thank you as well for the other links, I appreciate your effort, but I wanted it straight from the horse's mouth).

So, I checked it out, and here is what I found:

Make permanent, across-the-board 20 percent cut in marginal rates
Maintain current tax rates on interest, dividends, and capital gains
Eliminate taxes for taxpayers with AGI below $200,000 on interest, dividends, and capital gains
Eliminate the Death Tax
Repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)

Now, I do not understand. This does say 20% across-the-board cuts. But, it seems that when I see Romney talking now, he is saying no tax cuts for the rich. Do they need to update their website or there still something I don't understand? Like I said, I am not a tax accountant, but it seems like there is no consistency here.

Romney said in debate that he wouldn't reduce the wealthy's SHARE, not RATE. - Try Business Week or The Economist for pithy

readable analyses by people who are up to all the tricks. Not the propaganda posted (and updated as needed) to get candidates elected. Their websites are most dependable for getting statements to nail them on, and what's the point of that when you're in the voting booth, right?

The Atlantic and New Yorker also have excellent, aware-winning analyses and are free on line.

I stated in the very first sentence.... - Poster you are referring to

I did not state anything about your research skills. You said honestly you could not find it. My comment was directed at the other posters. Here is even my quote that I wrote first. I wrote it first so you would know the comments were not directed at you.

"First, I am not directing this message at you, but I come on here and read over and over and over people cannot find his plan, when what it is is they don't want to even look at his plan."

LOL, Miscommunication? I thanked you. - By the time

I got to your message I had already been slammed several times and was rather irritated and sleepy. I did thank you for your effort. I went to Romney's site (as I noted above), but I still do not understand the business about not cutting share of taxes, but cutting 20% across the board. I plan to try find the debate transcription about where he talks about not cutting taxes. I hope that is not as difficult to find.

I guess I do not understand what the deal is; if you have a good factual link, why not share it. Why does everyone have to reinvent the wheel? I do want factual links, not links to some extreme spinning blogs.

Sometimes even when people think they are being helpful they still manage to throw a dig in. Just like holidays at the in-laws.

Going out of town for awhile in a couple of months, coming back in on a Sunday night around 8:30. I asked my daughter if she could pick me up. I would call her as soon as the plane landed so she would not have to wait and just pick me up in front. She responded that she would have to take the next day off from work because she would be too tired. I asked her if she was saying she had to be off for picking me up and her response was "if you want my help you get it my way." I told her to not bothe ...

How to cut government spending: WHERE TO CUT – DISCRETIONAL SPENDING Unnecessary government programs should be eliminated, such as agricultural subsidies, “corporate welfare,” and tax credits for favored industries. These programs do not serve the interests of the general public, and the beneficiaries do not need government support. Agricultural subsidies primarily benefit big agribusinesses and wealthy landowners, for example, while driving up food prices for all ...

If you are unhappy with the current administration, start volunteering your time, put your money where your mouth is, and get more conservatives out to vote in future elections. If your candidates have the majority of votes, you will get the change you seek. If your candidates do not have the majority of votes, then you are obliged to abide by the laws set forth by those elected to office by the majority. That is how democracy works.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is proposing to eliminate Louisiana’s income and corporate taxes and pay for those cuts with increased sales taxes, the governor’s office confirmed Thursday. The governor’s office has not yet provided the details of the plan. “The bottom line is that for too long, Louisiana’s workers and small businesses have suffered from having a state tax structure that is too complex and that holds back economic prosperity,” Jindal said in a statement released by ...

He should arrest a few of the CEO's of companies that are violating the law by employing illegals. Throw these greedy profit-driven scofflaws in prison, levy huge fines against their companies, and the rest will quickly get the message, you can be sure. Rationale: We're asked to believe that most illegals come to the US to find work. If this is true, and it may be, then cutting off the jobs would both damp down the influx of new arrivals AND would likely cause the se ...

Today the Obama Administration will sign the Paris climate agreement at a ceremony in New York, a move that is projected to severely impact the U.S. economy with ironically negligible impacts for the environment. The agreement will not only set the stage for increased regulation, but will crush U.S. economic output, reduce household income for millions, and likely lead to hundreds of thousands of lost jobs. The agreement is a product of the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Con ...

He has done nothing but making promises of quitting drinking, getting jobs, and being a better husband and father and never makes good. In the past year or so, he has also started l ...
