Colbert v Colbert

[Friday13]

Last Thursday, Stephen Colbert had brilliant segment of Formidable Opponent, where he debated himself about Mitt Romney's positions. And in it, there was one key question he asked which lays to waste Romney's entire tax proposal.

Colbert wins...Rmoney loses.

Then why cut their taxes.....


That's exactly the relevant question. The answer the GOP will give of course that it is about tax simplification and about "broadening the tax base"... but what does 'broadening the tax base".. really mean? Very simple: FEWER INDIVIDUALS BEING EXEMPT from paying taxes other than payroll taxes.

That means.. MORE TAXES PAID BY THE MIDDLE AND WORKING CLASSES. No ifs ands or buts.

And since Romney is NOT talking abot increasing tax collections as a percentage of GDP.. that means... MORE TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY.

And that is just basd for the middle clas

I'm already in the choir, degs. I know what you're sayin'. And, yes, it is "exactly the relevant question".
