Romney tax plan, re-refuted
Josh Barro explains, again!, why Romney’s tax plan—cutting tax rates and eliminating tax deductions (or “preferences”) without hurting regular folks like you and me—won’t work. Because it’s us regular folks who get all the tax breaks! Tax returns reporting less than $200,000 of adjusted gross income (AGI) [that’s us folks] accounted for a total AGI…
Disproving Mitt: Why bother?
Josh Barro has a column explaining why none of the six “studies” cited by Mitt Romney as “proving” that his tax “plan” to cut rates by 20 percent is “feasible” actually do the job. The mountain that all six of the pro-Mitt studies have to digest is yet another study, this one from the Tax…
Romney folks hyper-sensitive, Politico folks hyper-shitty
Well, that’s a little harsh, isn’t it? Allow me to justify. Today’s Politico has one of those “a plague on both your houses” pieces, this one by Reid J. Epstein headlined “Campaign 2012 turns into a nasty schoolyard brawl.” As Epstein tells it “The decline began as soon as Romney clinched the nomination. The Republican…
So unnecessary, Mitt. Totally.
“Back in high school I did some dumb things and if anybody was hurt by that or offended by that I apologize.”—Mitt “the Enforcer” Romney Why, Mitt? How could anyone be hurt or offended simply because a gang of yahoos held him down and forcibly cut his hair? No one’s that big of a pussy,…
Yeah, she’s a Romney
Speaking in Stamford, Connecticut, Mitt’s missus said the following: “I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids.” Of course, she didn’t mean that she’s glad that some mothers have to work. She “meant” “I…
Dick to Mitt: “Pick ME!”
Mitt Romney shouldn’t play politics with his choice for vice president, says ex-Veep Dick Cheney, according to a recent article in Politico. Picking a woman or an Hispanic simply for political reasons would be bad, in the opinion of the non-woman, non-Hispanic Cheney. Cheney, who, after his latest operation, has no physical heart at all,…
George Will, hittin’ on Mitt
George Will—that’s George F. Will to you, pretty boy—has been getting a lot of mileage out of this column, making fun of Mitt Romney, for not knowing whether he thinks ethanol subsidies are a good idea or not. Well, I’m sorry. Making fun of a politician with presidential aspirations for not knowing whether he likes…
The anointing of Mitt, the shiving of Rick
Have you heard? Mitt’s the guy. Chris Christie says so. Ramesh Ponnuru says so. Jennifer Rubin says so.* All the cool kids say so. Mitt’s cool! Well, pretty cool. He hasn’t killed as many people as Rick, but, hey, he was in Massachusetts! Wait til he’s President! Look out! It wasn’t so long ago that…
Political Notes from All Over
George F. Will, critical race theorist par excellance There was a time when I made a virtual albeit entirely unpaid cottage industry out of making fun of George F. Will, working up such labored funnies as Two-parent families iz da bomb, says Ramblin’ George Will, snickering at the twice married, frequently adulterous when married and…
