Romney-Ryan Plan is the Real 2012 Republican Platform

Massive Tax Cuts for the Rich

After the Republican controlled House passed Paul Ryan's budget plan
by a 228-191 party line vote, Speaker John Boehner lauded his GOP
colleagues for laying out "a real vision of what we were to do if we
get more control here in this town." But Boehner's "we" isn't limited
to Republicans in Congress.

As it turns out, the party's near-certain presidential nominee Mitt
Romney is cooking up virtually the same disastrous "Pink Slime"
recipe for America's future. Both Ryan and Romney would deliver a
massive tax cut windfall for the rich, paying for it by gutting the
social safety net each pretends to protect. Each would end Medicare as
we know it with a premium support gambit that would dramatically shift
health care costs to America's seniors. While increasing defense
spending, the House Budget Chairman and the GOP frontrunner would
repeal the Affordable Care and leave at least 30 million people
without insurance. And despite their mutual pledges to end many tax
loopholes and deductions to fund their gilded-class giveaway, neither
Paul Ryan nor Mitt Romney has the courage to say which ones. As a
result, these supposed deficit hawks would actually add trillions more
in red ink to the national debt.

Here, then, is an overview of the Romney-Ryan Plan, also known as the
2012 Republican Platform.

Massive Tax Cuts for the Rich

Both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan would reduce corporate taxes from 35 to
25 percent. The top marginal income tax rate would be slashed from 35
percent to 25 percent (for Ryan) or 28 percent (for Romney). But
while the former Massachusetts Governor is offering a 20 percent
across-the-board cut to all of the current tax brackets, Ryan wants to
move to only two: 10 and 25 percent. Ryan-Romney also ends the AMT
and by repealing the Affordable Care, the taxes on higher-earners used
to help pay for it. (Both men also want to eliminate the estate tax,
a move which could theoretically deliver the Romney heirs an $80
million windfall.)

The result of the Ryan plan is predictable. As ThinkProgress
