Whose Tax Is It Anyway?

See for yourself.

Quote number one:

People are having a hard time making ends meet....I want to focus on
where the people are hurting the most, and that's the middle class. I'm not worried
about rich people. They are doing just fine....But the people in the middle, the
hard-working Americans, are the people who need a break, and that is why I
focused my tax cut right there.

Quote number two:

But here is what every American knows: While most people in this country
struggle to make ends meet, a few of the most affluent citizens and most
profitable corporations enjoy tax breaks and loopholes that nobody else gets.

Yes, I know these quotes aren't saying the same thing. And yes, I know that
these quotes are out-of-context.

With that said, can you really argue that there's not some sort of common theme?

It doesn't surprise me that there is commonality between Obama and Romney. Shawn Hannity says something very similar in one of his regular show promos. This is populous rhetoric, but not necessarily true.

The Romney quote is almost obvious. As for the Obama quote, the "tax loopholes" that nobody else gets is silly over the top rhetoric since half the people don't pay any federal income tax. But the underlying point is true as well.

Two intelligent people saying similar stuff that's basically true.

Stop the presses.

How many of the other GOP candidates are openly more interested in tax cuts for the middle class than for the richest Americans? Isn't that the new definition of "class warfare"?

I don't think Gingrich asked the question without a reason.
