- mcarvin 14y agoUnderstood. As there is no reliable way to guess at who would be affected and how (ie what income levels, with dependents / or without) - we believe the most accurate way to portray the plan is with what Romney has stated publicly and the shortfall that he needs to account for (ie $2.8 trillion over 10 years).
- ktsmith 14y agoUnfortunately the $2.85 trillion shortfall is mentioned near the very end of the infographic and so a significant number of people are never going to see it and will just go "oh, the Romney plan would save me $X" without ever understanding the bigger picture.
- Steko 14y agoRomney should clearly double his claimed tax cuts, will look great. Fuck that, the optimal strategy is clearly 100% tax cuts for everyone. [1] Also: bunnies for everyone. [1] Your local Somali-style warlord may confiscate your family, life and property at his discretion however.
