Romney apparently has no problem with corporate welfare and handouts to big business though. It's OK to bail out big businesses and give them tax loopholes on top of lowering their tax rate further.

But the guy scraping by at $30k/year to put food on his family's table needs to be taxed more, lol. OK Mitt.

I think Romney wants to close loopholes while lowering the tax rate. I also think his opponent has supported some spectacular corporate welfare. OK, though, Soundwave.


The fact is though conceptually the idea that taxing "freeloaders" who are earning maybe 30-40k a year at best is going to fix the debt is asinine.

The only way you're going to pay down the debt is if mega-wealthy individuals and corporations start paying their fair share of tax.

Everyone wants to close loopholes, but they get lobbied out of doing so. It's a nice line for elections that amounts to jack all.
