What questions do you want Mitt asked?

[cali]

Tax Policy:

On Fux News Sunday, Lyin' said that the math was too complicated to go into detail. I'd like Leher to start with that and ask Mitt if he thinks that the American people are unable to grasp the math behind his policy and if not to detail at least 5 tax loopholes that he'd close for upper income earners and for people like himself who live off investment income. I'd like to see Leher quote the non-partisan tax policy center: they said that if the plan didn't cut middle class deductions, there is no way to maintain revenue neutrality.

On his personal taxes:

The legal annual limit for IRA is $30,000. How did you amass a $100 million dollar IRA?

Abortion:

You say you support an Amendment to the Constitution defining life as beginning at conception, how do you square that with supporting a woman's right to have an abortion in cases of rape or incest?

The Budget:

You've said you don't support the Ryan Budget in its entirety. Name three proposals in the budget that you disagree with.

The Environment:

You've said that under your administration, states, instead of the Forest Service and BLM would make all decisions on gas and oil drilling and mining on federal lands within individual states. What would the role of the E.P.A be under that structure?

1. What Planet

Is he REALLY from?......

2. Specifics

Just about any question where he has to give a specific answer instead of his usual song and dance blaming Obama.

3. Will you rule out doing away with the home mortgage deduction or is it on the table?

So far, pundits have just asked him what deductions or tax loopholes he would do away with and he's said that would be up to negotiations with the Congress. They need to find out if he would reject outright or be open to doing away with the home mortgage deduction if the Congress approved it, since he doesn't want to raise taxes. If he's even open to that prospect, I think it would be "curtains" for ole Stench.

4. Have you ever been granted tax amnesty? If so, when?

[Vox Moi]

8. This, unfortunately, a softball question ...

Romney will be forced to clearly deny it.
Without a leak of his 2009 return, there is no way to fact-check the answer.
If he is telling the truth, he wins a point by standing on a forceful denial.
If he is lying then he still wins the point unless there is a leak of 2009 tax information.

I would love to hear this question but we already know the answer.

5. What exactly do you mean by "entitlement" and "dependence?" Under what circumstances of need

is a person permitted to receives assistance from society? Are individuals the only entities who receive assistance from the government?

Perhaps not worded cleverly enough but if someone else can make them better, feel free.

9. I think Jim Lehrer will go there

The issue of poverty is important, especially when the GOP is making it the centerpiece of their attack. What is Willard's solution for "dependency"? Not just food stamp recipients, but chronic, abject poverty in America? The elderly homeless, the substance abusers, the schizophrenics on our downtown streets? These people need MORE support from the government - housing, chiefly, yet the federal government throws billions down a rat hole in Iraq & lets homelessness continue unabated.

10. And some follow up needs to be done on the idea of trickle down and the lack of job creation effort

by either the Republican Party or the "makers."

6. Willard "Where are your Complete Taxes for the last 12 years?"

7. Willard were you dependent on the Government whey your family received welfare?

11. ...

"How exactly is cutting taxes for every American by 20%, per Ryan's interview with Chris Wallace on Sunday Sept 30th, going to help eliminate the deficit?"

Followup when MR tries to softball it "You say your administration will close loopholes, and revamp the tax code to reduce the amount of deductions people can take while at the same time using that 20% to keep money in the hands of the American people instead of getting it back as a tax return. Please give three specific examples of the deductions you would eliminate, and for what sector of the population- followed by three example of how you would reduce the tax rates for middle income families."

Further followup after MR's word salad "Many in the American public are concerned that if the middle class continues to shoulder the majority of taxes, the recovery will slow and simply stall out if not become worse. How does your administration plan to combat the discrepancies of taxes paid in the different levels of income, and types of income?"

THIS is what I want answered most, his math doesn't work no matter how you fiddle with it and it need exposure.
