Just so we're VERY clear on Ritt Momney's Great Plan To Rescue The Economy And Save The Whole Wide World And Get Everyone Two Ham Sandwiches And A Pony...
The rules are such...
1) No more debt.
2) No burden on the middle class.
3) Tax cuts for the rich.
4) Pay for all tax cuts by closing loopholes.
And if you do ALL this... the new money in the private sector... will Rescue The Economy And Save The Whole Wide World And Get Everyone Two Ham Sandwiches And A Pony.
But wait... if you're giving tax cuts to the rich and paying for it by closing loopholes and those loopholes WILL NOT effect the middle class... then those MUST BE loopholes ONLY for the rich.
AND if you're not adding to the debt, then those Rich Loopholes must be equal to or greater then the tax cuts you've just handed to the rich.
(Shorter, I'm going to give you MORE Ice Cream, but not until I've taken the Ben And Jerry's from your freezer.)
So, you've just RAISED taxes on the rich, which means there's LESS money in the "private sector" and (using the logic of a Republican) The Economy Will Not Get Rescued And The Whole Wide World Will Not Get Saved And NO ONE Gets Sandwiches of Ham Nor Do They Get Ponies.
Or... WE COULD LET THE BUSH TAX CREDITS LAPSE AND GET ON WITH OUR FUCKING LIVES.
Its one thing to have a secret plan, its another to be obtuse, but to create a plan that is secretive AND obtuse AND undermines every fucknig thing your party has said for sixty years... that takes a truly special kind of political mind.
