rMoney is not generating much in the believability department, at
least for Democrats and Independents and Eisenhower Republicans

The Tea Party believes him.

Whatever this is, garbage has some uses and we know it.

Romney has no use, his taxes have no use..this arrogant attitude is much lower than garbage..
It is lower than the last ring in Dante's Hell.............

Republicans have nothing if the press isn't covering for them. Nothing.

I truly believe that the only "loopholes" they want to cut are the
deductions that benefit the middle class.

IF they remove the mortgage interest deduction, I will be screwed.
Like most average Americans, who live from paycheck-to-paycheck,
I figured in my future tax refunds when I purchased my house 6 years ago,
and just refinanced this year. That refund, by the way, gets reinvested
right back into home repair and improvement, which in turn helps stimulate
the local economy -- where I SPEND that money. Eliminating that
deduction would screw the overall economy (just like plummeting home
values after the last burst bubble killed the home equity loan market)

Charitable donations also effects the poor and middle class most,
because they donate a higher % of income to charity than the
selfish 1% class.

Reducing capital gains tax to 15%, instead of 20 or 30%, is a "loophole" of
greater proportion, but eliminating that would effect the wrong people.

When I think of "loopholes" I think of Cayman Islands, investment losses,
and all the other crap that people like Mitt employ to weasel-out of
paying taxes, leaving people like me with the tab.

I hate these assholes!!!

Without the $17,000 tax deduction we get to claim every year we would be screwed. I guess we could invest in a dressage horse?

The largest problem with the GOP's all loopholes, all the time tactics:

At this point in time, the Republicans are using the size of the debt and the deficit as weapons against the Democrats. Elect us, they say, and they'll reduce the deficit.

Sadly, this is the biggest lie they are pushing this cycle. According to their solemn pledge to Grover Norquist (which, as we all know, trumps the not-so-solemn pledge they make to the voters), any loophole closure, spending cut, or other financial legerdemain can be used for exactly one thing: to pay for yet another tax cut.

Does it make ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER to cut taxes when they're already too fucking low? And here I'm not even thinking of a tax increase. Just leave the taxes the fuck alone (or, at least, let the Bush cuts expire for all of us--yes, that is going to hurt but playtime is over) and start cutting giveaways to campaign donors like Medicare Part D and strategic missile defense. But that's not what will happen.
