Visualizing the Romney Tax Debate
Visualizing the Romney Tax Debate☜Tax reform has emerged as a major bone of contention in the 2012 Presidential election campaign. While President Obama has identified some tax changes, Governor Romney proposes major systemic reform. But is his plan - especially the proposals for individual taxation - viable?☜F1CEB7

Political resistance
Political resistance☜The TPC and its defenders point out that they have been conservative in their analysis in that they have set the bar low for the Romney plan - only testing if it is mathematically possible. Given the popularity of many of the concessions many of the mooted changes would be hard to do in practise.☜FFFACD
