If Romney won't cut taxes what's the Fucking Point?

Seriously... once Romney said he isn't actually proposing cutting taxes I kind of lost any sense of the predicate for his candidacy.

Okay... he's white. But aside from that, WTF is his argument?

I will cut taxes by infinity and raise taxes by infinity so it all equals the same amount of money. And this will create jobs.

Well... aside from tax accountant jobs, it's hard to see the argument.

"Eliminate all taxes and destroy the government" is at least an argument. A stupid argument, but something.
