Another analysis showing how Romneys tax plan works. It requires income inequality to explode to the point the 1% could fill the revenue hole. But I think it would take strictly following Ryan’s plan to achieve that amount of inequality problem is Ryan’s plan calls for pretty much zero tax on the upper portion of the 1% and 0% tax on infant income is still zero revenue.

Going on 21 years for current employer and I have been employed every year since the age of 12 when I started working in a bicycle shop in 1980. Never been laid off in my life except if you count when I quit trying to start my own business for a period of about a year and a half.

I received a promotion just last week with a 10% pay increase. I’m a mechanical engineer. My Wife of 20 Years is also a Mechanical engineer is currently fully employed as of November 2011.

We are significantly better off than we were 4 years ago with wife under employed and cost of living increases running well below inflation at the time during the lost decade of the Bush years.

We already debunked that myth in another thread. People making less than 20k in household income pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than Mitt Romney Even if they are paying negative income tax. Tax burden as a percent of income peaks on the middle class those earning around 150-200k It was also shown that the biggest freeloading areas of the country of negative tax payers were solidly Republican. Braniack tried to point out it was because of black people.
