[quote=Freeman][quote=Anonymous]The piece you cited has been debunked because it makes assumptions that Romney will eliminate deductions for the middle class. NO WHERE does it state Romney will eliminate deductions for the middle class. This is based on an opinion not a fact "

"Gale says you can't pay for Romney's tax cuts for high earners just by eliminating deductions — unless you also raise taxes on the middle class."

"The $2000 "tax hike" figure that Warren cites is grounded in a third-party analysis that Romney has criticized, but one the authors stand by. The authors also note that their calculations are not precise because they lack some specifics of Romney's plan."

I thought you said it had been debunked? I read both links, and others. At no point has anyone definitively stated that the report was not accurate. No one can until we know exactly which deductions Romney would eliminate, information which he has stated he would not share until after the election. So we can only speculate, based on the facts and figures available to us. The report I originally mentioned was a Romney supporter detailing ways the tax cuts could be paid for. The only statements made against it are that the assumptions as to which deductions would be eliminated may not be accurate. That's hardly "debunking" the article.[/quote]
