The Republican proposed tax cuts

 This was sent to me this morning. Read it and weep.  This is very overwhelming for the average taxpayer who continues to get up every morning (or night) and head to the job that, in most cases, is today paying him minimum wage.  The focus in the media is now on Mr. Romney's account in the Caymans and his tax returns.  Let's all remember Charley Rangel and his illegal doings in the Dominican republic and Timothy Geithner who did not even pay his tax bill! Yes, all politicians are honest and  always pay for their wrong doings (sarcasm) and of course your best interest is at the top of their priorities.

Notice S.S. and the military are NOT on this list.
