The question I most want asked of Mittens is:
Governor, you say you are going to cut taxes for everyone and that your plan will be "revenue" neutral because you will be "broadening" the base; just what does that mean, broaden the base? Whose taxes are you going to raise in order to broaden this base? Soldiers serving in combat? People living on Social Security? The taxes of the working poor who work full time jobs and stuggle to keep body and soul together?
It is so much double speak this "broadening the base" nonsense I would love to see him called on it.
Has anyone else out there wondered what exactly is the point of cutting taxes if the whole thing is "revenue neutral" Does that make any sense at all?
