Whose Tax Is It Anyway?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
