In the long run, Mitt Romney will pursue a conservative overhaul of the tax system that includes lower and flatter rates on a broader tax base. The approach taken by the Bowles-Simpson Commission is a good starting point for the discussion. The goal should be a simpler, more efficient, user-friendly, and less onerous tax system. Every American would be readily able to ascertain what they owed and why they owed it, and many forms of unproductive tax gamesmanship would be brought to an end. Conversely, tax reform should not be used as an under-the-radar means of raising taxes. Where reforms that simplify the code or encourage growth have the effect of increasing the tax burden, they should be offset by reductions in marginal rates. Washington’s problem is not too little revenue, but rather too much spending.

BIG BIRD
12:41:47 When he was asked what he'd actually do to cut the deficit and reduce spending, he said he'd eliminate funding for public television.
12:41:58 I mean, thank goodness somebody is finally getting tough on Big Bird.
12:42:07 It's about time. We didn't know that Big Bird was driving the federal deficit, but that's what we heard last night. How about that? Elmo too?
12:42:26 Look, the fact is, Governor Romney's math just doesn't add up.
12:42:32 And I had to spend a lot of time last night trying to hit it down. The only way to pay for $5 trillion in new tax cuts and $2 trillion in new defense spending that the military says it doesn't need is by asking the middle class to pay more.

*** ROMNEY/FOREIGN POLICY
12:45:26 It'll be interesting to see what the guy who was playing Mitt Romney yesterday will say about foreign policy when we meet next. Because he said it was tragic to end the war in Iraq.

"The precipitous withdrawal is unfortunate. It's more than unfortunate. I think it's tragic. It puts at risk many of the victories that were hard-won by the men and women who have served there. I hope the risk is not realized. I hope instead that the Iraqis are able to pick up the baton, and despite the fact that we will have walked away on a too-rapid basis."....

"President Obama’s astonishing failure to secure an orderly transition in Iraq has unnecessarily put at risk the victories that were won through the blood and sacrifice of thousands of American men and women," Romney wrote on Oct. 21, 2011. "The unavoidable question is whether this decision is the result of a naked political calculation or simply sheer ineptitude in negotiations with the Iraqi government."
