16. Closing of loopholes and the limiting deductions

Nov 2012

Does the Republicans' plan for the "closing of loopholes and the limiting deductions" close loopholes and limit deductions for everybody or just the wealthy? I would also like to know specifics on why the "math doesn't add up." I am of the belief that there is no way the math adds up unless you hit everybody including the poor and middle-class -- not just the wealthy. Have the Republicans even been specific in what loopholes they are closing and what deductions they are limiting?

No. It's a whitewash for their insistence Democrats be 'reasonable' about 'entitlements.' freshwest Nov 2012 #4
