Last night at a Romney fundraiser which was closed to the media, he outlined some ways he would cut spending if elected President. The reporters who stood outside and listened in listed among Romney’s ideas no tax breaks for a second home mortgage, slashing funding for Department of Education and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and removing the state income tax deduction and state property tax deduction.
A telling moment came when Romney started talking about the “Buffett Rule”.
I hope we get to talk about fairness. Is it very fair for government to pick winners and losers?
Umm, Mitt, the government (for that matter, ALL governments) pick winners and losers. Take a look at big oil, banks and Wall Street just name a few. Hey Mitt, why don’t you take a look at your bank accounts and really think about it for a moment. I’m sure the answer to your question, “Is it very fair for government to pick winners and losers?”, really isn’t the answer you were looking for.
