Speaking of Tax Cuts.....

Republican candidate for President, Tim Pawlenty, is a disciple of Grover Norquist. That in itself should scare the  *%#@ out of you.  However, Tim Pawlenty's ideas about taxes will scare you even more.

ThinkProgress:


....as a new analysis from Citizens for Tax Justice shows, in addition to being outrageously expensive, Pawlenty’s tax plan is based on the Republican brand of class warfare — giving millionaires huge tax breaks:

– Taxpayers with incomes in excess of $1 million would enjoy an average cut in personal income taxes of $288,822, a 41.4 percent cut.
– Taxpayers with incomes in excess of $10 million would enjoy an average cut in personal income taxes of $2.4 million, a 46.3 percent cut.
– The cost of the personal income tax cuts just for taxpayers with incomes in excess of $1 million would be $141.8 billion.

And that’s just for Pawlenty’s income tax plan. He has also proposed eliminating the capital gains and estate taxes entirely, two moves which would overwhelmingly benefit the very richest Americans.....

OMG!  What kind of a plan is that?  Why would anyone in his/her right mind want to give more tax cuts to millionaires?  Why? Why?  Why?

Millionaires who have the power and ability to start hiring people have been pocketing the extra money they're making instead of creating new jobs.  The rich are getting richer, and the poor and middle class are getting poorer.  Pawlenty's ideas are just plain obscene.

Newser (June 2007):

White House hopeful Mitt Romney once kept his Irish Setter in a dog carrier strapped to the roof rack of the family car during a 12-hour road trip in a stunt that's come back to haunt his campaign 24 years later, Time reports. The incident came to light as an anecdote about Romney in a newspaper profile. 

 Now questions are being raised about the Massachusetts governor's  judgment, his parenting, and  even his support for "enhanced interrogation" techniques used on suspected terrorists. A PETA spokesman said the dog, Seamus, was "basically being tortured" in the possibly illegal incident , and the family vacation was a "lesson in cruelty" for the Romney children.
