My theory is that Mittens knows he is going to be hammered in the debate about not specifying the deductions he would trim back, and they need to be trimmed back substantially to make his rates cut work while being largely revenue neutral. So he is now moving in that direction, which is smart, rather than waiting for the debates. No, the middle class will not get a tax increase, because what is lost in deductions will be made up for by lower rates, and maybe even cause the overall tax bill for the middle class to go down a tad. Mittens has only promised to keep taxes revenue neutral for the 200K-250K plus crowd.
Of course, Mittens should have been specific
long ago (if only to demonstrate that the details of the numbers add up to the general claim he is making about what his tax policy will accomplish, as opposed to leaving it the smoke and mirrors zone). The man lacks guts - just like Obama. We have two gutless wonders running against each other. Splendid - just splendid.
