Romney's HUGE shift on what he SAYS his tax policy will be
I picked up on this during the David Gregory interview last weekend, and both Romney and Ryan have been saying this the last week.
"Well, I can tell you that people at the high end, high income taxpayers, are going to have fewer deductions and exemptions," he said. "Those numbers are going to come down. Otherwise they'd get a tax break. And I want to make sure people understand, despite what the Democrats said at their convention, I am not reducing taxes on high income taxpayers."

It is driving me MAD that the "liberal media" is not picking up on this ...
Their whole schtick, the WHOLE premise of the republican economic scam, is to sell the cut taxes for the wealthy so they create jobs boondoggle.
THAT is what Mitt Romney has run on, THAT IS WHAT HE HAS SAID REPEATEDLY for five years now.
Cut the taxes of the "job creators!"
What this fricken LIE they are spewing now is the DEMOCRATIC tax concept - a PROGRESSIVE taxation where they middle/lower class have a somewhat lesser tax burden so they have the money to actually buy stuff, while the upper income earners pay more in taxes to pay for things and not horde it.
What Romney and Ryan have been pitching for the last week now is a COMPLETE and TOTAL reversal of the long standing republican position on taxes.
Why is this not questioned, and further, if they hold to it, outside of their deranged hatred for Obama, what reason is to elect them to enact the same tax paradigm this president is looking to enact?
