Silver lining for Mitt: he'll pay no taxes under Newt's tax plan

newt

As good as it gets: under Newt's tax plan there would be no tax on capital gains.  Under Mitt's plan people earning under $200,000 who usually don't have any capital gains won't pay any taxes on the capital gains they don't have.  Under Newt's plan Mitt will pay no taxes.  Clever that newt.

A very competent presentation by John Kerry.  Remember that most of the 65 seats the Democrats lost were in pretty conservative places or places with rather narrow margins for Obama in 2008.  How to win them back is they key question.  We will be fighting over taxes for the next two years - that's what today's deal guaranteees.
