The Hill - "Tax Policy Center stands by Romney analysis" - Cuts for the Rich, Hurts Middle Class

[TomCADem]

Of course, Romney will refuse to provide more details regarding his tax returns or his tax plans. He will simply attack anyone having the gall to dispute his allegations as being biased and liars.

The Tax Policy Center has taken another look and come to the same conclusion: Mitt Romney’s tax plan, as currently stated, could not be revenue-neutral without shifting more of the tax burden away from the highest earners.

In a new paper issued Thursday, the nonpartisan center altered some assumptions in a two-week-old study of Romney’s tax plan — which the presumptive GOP nominee called “garbage,” and which has become fodder for President Obama’s campaign commercials — and still found Romney's goals and his proposals don’t match up.

The study’s authors — Samuel Brown, William Gale and Adam Looney — note in their update that Romney has proposed reducing all individual income tax rates by 20 percent, keeping incentives for investment and eliminating both the Alternative Minimum Tax and the estate tax.

Those policies, the center says, would mean a lower tax burden for families making more than $200,000 a year. And since Romney has already said his tax reform plan would not add to the deficit, the three authors say that means that families and individuals making under that level would have to pick up the slack. The original study said some $86 billion in tax burden would move away from the wealthiest taxpayers under Romney’s plan.

1. Your title is a little misleading

"Tax Policy Center stands by Romney analysis"

might be better as:
"Tax Policy Center stands by their analysis of Romney Plan"

2. I Agree, But That Is The Actual Title...

... My title would be, "Tax Policy Center Still Finds Romney's Tax Proposal Hurts Middle Class."
