Mitt Romney Refuses To Say Which Tax Deductions He Would Eliminate
In a wide-ranging interview with Time Magazine, Mitt Romney declined to say which deductions he would eliminate from the tax code in order to make his plan to cut tax rates across the board revenue-neutral.
"I know our Democrat friends would love to have me specify one or two so they could amass the special interest to fight that effort," Romney told managing editor Richard Stengel when asked to specify which deductions he would eliminate. He then launched into a general discussion about ways to limit deductions, saying the choice would be made "in consultation with Congress" -- in other words, after the election.
Guess we will find out in November. The Dems promise benefits they can't deliver. And the Republicans are a little bit more realistic. Who will the voters choose, Mitt, or four more years of empty promises, no jobs, and a declining middle class.

Doesn't matter which one wins. The economy is going to continue to stagnate, we will bear increasing debt as we continue to pay for increasingly frequent and more severe natural disasters, and all politicians will continue to stick their head in the sand denying it and putting off effective measures to mitigate more extensive damage down the road thanks to their unwavering corrupt support of fossil fuel energy and the status quo.
We're all hosed. I don't even think Jill Stein has a prayer of making anything happen.
