Yes.
Romney knows that by pandering to the ultra-ultra-ultra-wealthy he will win the election.
They make up the majority of voters in swing states like Ohio, Indiana and New Mexico.

The spin keeps on spinning. Now, it's Obama saying Romney will raise taxes on the middle class to keep the tax breaks going for the super wealthy. Sounds fishy to me. Is Obama right, or is it true that Mitt Romney is planning to raise taxes on the middle class?

ABCNEWS.GO.COM reports:
AKRON, Ohio – President Obama today pounced on a new report that found Mitt Romney’s economic plan would raise taxes on the majority of Americans and give tax breaks to the super wealthy, telling supporters in the battleground state of Ohio that his opponent wants them to pay more so that “people like him” can get a tax cut.

• Make a permanent, across-the-board 20 percent cut in marginal rates
• Maintain current tax rates on interest, dividends and capital gains
• Eliminate taxes for taxpayers with adjusted gross income below $200,000 on interest, dividends and capital gains
• Eliminate the death tax
• Repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax
Of course in liberal logic if you don't raise taxes on the rich you are 'stealing' government services from 'the poor' and so you will have to raise taxes on the middle class to fulfill Congress' irrational base line budget which is always expanding. It never occurs to them in their myopic thinking that it's the base line budgeting process that allocates more funds to departments and agencies that deliberately purge their budgets in order to automatically qualify for more funding that must be changed.
The Institute was established in 1968 by the Lyndon B. Johnson administration to study the nation’s urban problems and evaluate the Great Society initiatives embodied in more than 400 laws passed in the prior four years. Johnson hand-selected well-known economists and civic leaders to create the non-partisan, independent research organization. Their ranks included Kermit Gordon, McGeorge Bundy, Irwin Miller, Arjay Miller, Richard Neustadt, Cyrus Vance, and Robert McNamara.[3] William Gorham, former Assistant Secretary for Health, Education and Welfare, was selected as its first president and served from 1968-2000.
Gradually, the Institute's research and funding base broadened. Today, federal government contracts provide about 55% of the Institute’s operating funds, foundations another 34%, and state and local governments and private individuals the rest.[4] Some of the Institute’s more than 100 private sponsors and funders include The Atlantic Philanthropies, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation.
Sounds like a bunch of progressive doubletalk

Keep being an idiot ....I don't wan to talk to radical libs who are big idiots.
Good bye...Left wing baloney idiot...Keep on believing Obama lies.
As one example of the GOP's hypocrisy, it claims to be the party of self-responsibility while opposing a health care mandate, thus allowing people who can afford insurance to get medical care and foist the cost on to the rest of us.
I'm not sure further conversation would accomplish anything as we could not agree on the time of day. Perhaps we can agree on one thing: the core values of the two sides are so far apart that it's little wonder we have perpetual gridlock.
