Does it surprise you that one of Mitt Romney's economic advisers is advocating an approach to tax reform that's very similar to that which was advocated by the Romney campaign (including the tax increase on upper income taxpayers)? What do you think the word "contradicting" was about in the thread title?

Good. Thank you. I don't think there will be anything significant cut though. That would have to be ACA, particularly since there aren't funds provided for it in the ACA,or so I understand. Just don't fund those.

Romney advocated a tax rate cut across the board and a limitation on deductions (i.e. a tax increase) on upper income taxpayers. (He describes it in the first Presidential debate).

And what do you think "contradicting" was about? What was being contradicted?

Here's the deal...the wealthy have expanded their wealth in this time of economic turbulence. They've not reinvested it in America or created jobs. Put the money into the hands of the people who will spend it to grow the economy. It's a very simple concept.

I am not giving anyone anything...I created my wealth for me, no one else. It isn't that hard to do. People should try it.

[quote=chuxtrux;9119661]Taxing the rich to pre Bush tax cut levels won't take hardly anything out of the GDP. If you let all the tax cuts expire on everybody (plus with some of the spending cuts they are talking about) the country would likely go into another recession. Getting back to a surplus is unfortunately going to take a long time. There was a reason Romney and to a lesser extent Obama were smart enough to not go into details about their deficit reduction plan while campaigning.[/quote]
It appears that no one is willing to shrink the government and reduce spending.

And when the fraction of what they spend somehow does manage to end up in the hands of an American producer, why will that producer turn around and reinvest it in America and create jobs then if he won't do it now? Your plan seems flawed to me.

Plus Teddy was owned by corporate plutocrats that have gotten rich of this system. Go figure.
