Even Fox News (Finally) Discounts the Romney Tax Plan

4. How is it we are even arguing this?

No, seriously, how stupid are we, the collective people of the united States, that anyone thinks this plan makes a lick of sense?

"This tax cut won't increase the deficit because I'll close the loopholes!"

Okay, there's five trillion dollars lost to loopholes? That's the only way this argument makes any sense, is if the whole of the tax break can be found in the loopholes being closed. In which case, you're cutting five trillion and gaining five trillion, which is exactly the same as not doing either.

But you'd have to be a gibbering idiot to really think you can pay for a five trillion-dollar tax cut by "closing loopholes" in the tax code. Especially when the people proposing this plan can't even speak of WHICH loopholes they plan to close! I mean c'mon guys, if you've found five trillion dollars in loopholes, maybe you could specify where?

But then this is a guy who outsourced his businesses to China who claims to not know you get a tax bonus for doing that.
