How you can lower the rates for everyone 20% and get rid of deductions and then make a case that those at the top will not be any better off for it. That it will be net neutral!

What I think he is saying is that of the money collected, the wealthy will not pay any less of a % of the total pie than they did before the 20% cut.

we have 200 million people paying maybe an average $300 less, about 60 billion dollars. now this is a % of the overall amount of taxes paid in less 20%. The top 1% will get 20% tax cut that will amount to 20% less of what they are paying now.

So what Romney is saying is the overall portion of the total tax paid in,, which mostly comes from the wealthy will not change as a % of all taxes collected. Now we get to the math, since the very wealthy. the top 400 families make more than the bottom 50%, you can now give them a % cut in what you collect from them as compared to the rest of the nation as a whole and they will still be paying the same % of what is collected, it's just that what is collected is going to be a much smaller amount of taxes. Which means that the govt will have less money to pay for the things we now provide to the citizens. But the rich will provide the same % to the overall number which is much less.
So we will have to pay for defense, and the cost of the govt running but everything else can be cut or done away with as we won't have the money.

This has been the overall idea since I can remember, is to bankrupt the govt so it cannot do the things we want/need done and only do the things we have to have done.

It's like reading catch 22 all over again.

Any plan the republicans have or will ever have, is loaded with breaks for the oligarchs, thats who owns the republican party now and for the last 100 years. Any one that thinks the republican party is the party of the working man has never opened a history book.

Back to the truth of this post guys. The republicans will cut your taxes but at the same time they will cut services and provide less to the states, something they have been doing for the last 11 years. The total taxes collected will be 20% less do to the tax cut, and 150 million people will share that 20% cut by getting a few hundred dollars each while those at the top will share in the 20% tax reduction of what they now owe in taxes or 2 million tax payers at the top will gain like 60,000 in a reduce tax bill, along with the 80,000 a year they now are enjoying.
Yep the average guy can just about cover the extra cost of gasoline, and these other picked on people at the top will only be able to afford 3 new Cadillacs a year.

But of course those who are just getting by will now be seeing less and less help from our govt as they won't be able to provide it with the lowered collection of taxes.

A plan by the Repugs to bankrupt the govt to a point that we can no longer help those in need, that is the plan on the right.

And it's working because they have people carrying the water for them like the Tea party types who aren't smart enough to see that the only ones who make out by cutting taxes to the bone are those who don't have a need. They actually believe that by making others suffer it will help them. They haven't quite figured it out that just because you quit funding things and stop helping those in need, it doesn't make those things go away or do those who needed help all of a sudden become people who didn't need help.

They have been convinced that if you just force people, by cutting benefits and not providing them help to improve, it will just happen.

But the truth is people will just suffer more, need more people to depend on and those at the top will just be a little better off because of it.
