just a little while ago to "Not expect any tax relief from me". He is going to close various tax loopholes like Morgage deductions and a few others. It was said to a group of middle class people in the swing state of Ohio. Is he that stupid, a big prick or both? Does anyone know if it was captured on video?

He does in his heart believe that we (little people) need to shoulder our fair share of the tax burden. This is a reflection of his true self. That, at least, is refreshing.

WESTERVILLE, Ohio -- In a line that event attendees found a bit puzzling, Mitt Romney warned a crowd of mostly middle-class onlookers on Wednesday not to expect too much tax relief under his administration.
"We have got to reform our tax system," Romney said at a morning event here. "Small businesses most typically pay taxes at the individual tax rate. And so our individual income taxes are the ones I want to reform. Make them simpler. I want to bring the rates down. By the way, don't be expecting a huge cut in taxes because I'm also going to lower deductions and exemptions. But by bringing rates down we will be able to let small businesses keep more of their money so they can hire more people."

(33,400 posts)no one should expect any tax relief, period. we need to pay more, meaning ALL of our FICA and clinton income rates, and cut more from the DoD. if we actually want a balanced budget and to pay down the deficit.

Or in reality, a net loss for the middle class. How does that help small business?
