Romney is clearly doing class warfare, pitting the 1% against everybody else, he's verifying that he is indeed a progressive. He is Obama white.

He has said he is a “progressive.” He has admitted that his only connection to the Republican party is his voter registration. And yet people voted for him. Idiots.

Romney is an extreme liberal pretending to be a moderate or, at times, a conservative.

Progressivity will remain in our tax code unless we go to some sort of flat tax or VAT to replace it. I don’t think there are too many politicians of any party that want to eliminate progressivity in our tax code.

Do you people understand what “progressivity” means? It means people who make more pay a higher percentage of their income in federal tax. Almost everyone agrees that those who have higher incomes should pay a bigger share of their income. Personally, I’d like to see us adopt the Fair Tax but that’s not going to happen. Neither is a Flat Tax likely. What Romney is saying is he’s going to fine tune the status quo, not destroy it. I don’t see what the problem is.

Not those who checked his record on taxes and unemployment during his control of MA!!

I did my homework and I supported and voted for Newt. Those who didn’t now have mitt as their responsibility not mine.

That’s not all he said. He practically read Obama’s teleprompter in these.

“Fair Tax but that’s not going to happen. Neither is a Flat Tax likely”

Nothing is gonna anything unless we elect an individual that will enact the changes needed.....Romney fits your description of “that’s not going to happen”.

Romney has a blank platform and check.

Don't you know he's the anyone but Obama candidate so he has no boundaries. He's the man who can do no wrong. Not.
