It’s pandering. Buying votes from people with their own money. Such, especially on the eve of an election, should be rejected with prejudice.

Pandering? How is that pandering? How is that buying votes? Tax breaks are great for the economy, Romney saying he would like to give them is not pandering, it may be difficult with the brain-dead Congress we have now, but he isn't "pandering".

How's Mr. Huckabee these days?

Maybe I don’t understand, but isn’t part of campaigning telling the people what you intend to do if elected. I don’t call it pandering, it looks like campaigning to me.

What are you talking about?? This is letting people keep their money and we should all be for that.

You knee jerk reaction was ill-considered.

This is ‘pandering’ of the best kind, the kind of tax cut policy that Reagan and GWB ran and won on:
1. Tax rate reduction is good economic policy that is pro-growth
2. It is letting people keep their own money
3. He is doing it the *right* way, cutting tax rates permanently and not just giving a gimmicky giveaway
4. He knows that our corporate tax rate is not competitive with other nations and specifically is helping out there

We should reject socialism and embrace progrowth tax cuts.
