Question on Rmoney's tax plan (trolls are welcome to answer)

[SoutherDem]

He says he wants to lower the tax rates to 20% but what about those who's tax rate are already 15% or 10%?

1. I heard it to mean that he would reduce each tax rate by 20%

10% would go down to 8%
15% would go down to 12% etc

2. Not that I believe a word he says, on any subject, but

I think the "plan" is to lower everyone's taxes by 20%...I'm sure he said that, along with every other possible plan.

3. Also, did he say 0% on all capital gains last debate?

also I heard when asked, that his idea of middle class income is folks $150K to 300K??
That those are the folks he is talking about when he says he wants to help?
trolls /anyone who knows his plan?

4. He claims the capital gains thing is only for lower/middle class

A few retirees might be able to exploit this, but most retirees with dividend income have it in pension plans which are taxed as ordinary income.

This is the big problem: Romney has two stated goals: 20 percent rate cut and revenue neutrality. Eliminating every deduction will support a 4 percent rate cut while maintaining neutrality. Plus he wants the huge military spending hike.

His numbers will never work.

5. Zero on Interest, Dividends & Capital Gains "unearned" income

That would effectively wipe out any tax liability for Romney! ZERO

6. He also said...

...he won't lower tax rates on top income earners but the rich will continue to pay 60% of America's Taxes.

Impossible.

The only way to hold their share constant while lowering the the tax rates for all other Americans is to lower their tax rate, too.

Just another lie.
