I don't agree with him on eliminating the death tax though. And of course this is a bit vague, but better than nothing.

Gregory Mankiw Just shoot me now. This country is so fucked. The system is not going to be able to reform itself. The bullshit is too deep, and too many people are snowed by it.

Running an investment company and encouraging layoffs off to maximize profits. I will never understand how people rationalize that. If finance people squick the middle class hard enough, the unicorn will appear and it farts jobs along with the rainbow. Or something.

    11   12:46am Wed 16 May 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like (2)   Dislike   Romney's plan: Exactly the same plan that every Republican has been pushing for the last 30 years. Cut taxes, pretend to cut spending, deregulate industries with a proven track record of fucking things up when they aren't regulated. He's pushing the myth that the U.S. is capable of 5%+ annual GDP growth.

No deficits before Obama. You heard it from Romney.

I'm betting he'd be a lot like Clinton. Anxious to get along, and not too worried about the details. That means 0% federal taxes for anyone who earns any income from any source where he/she doesn't actually have to work for it. This would include inheritance, interest, dividends, and capital gains. If this is what you want, by all means vote Republican this year. It has already passed the House so all it needs is the Senate and a president's signature.
