Romney Adviser Admits Taxes on Rich Should be Raised

mit romney and ran a campaign which insisted not raising taxes for the rich and idaho bunch of other stuff but didn't make sense economically mitt romney's economic advisor glenn hubbard just published and op ed in the financial times which actually called for higher tax rates on the wealthy and it bursts republicans to outline specific spending cuts instead of big across the board reductions noteworthy because it is exactly counter to what mitt romney ran on this was one of romney's advisers so what does this tell us that basically tells us that even economists who know what they're talking about are not really allowed to have their ideas heard or they are simply told to advise mit romney on doing the opposite of what they actually think would be good at it is sad because obviously this is an idea that glenn hubbard just came up with in the week since mit romney lost right this is obviously something that he thought all along over whatever reason never actually trickled all the way up to mit romney's policy proposal form sure i'm sure he was uh... suppressed for for lack of better turn apparently metromail is even lying about what his own economic advisers thought would help the country maybe glenn hubbard's voice was actually heard within the romney campaign and mit romney said you know what under the even lie about what might own economic advisers are telling me because uh... as that's what he thinks welcome win the presidency because that's what he thinks now glenn hubbard didn't just say that president obama strategy is fantastic he said a strategy of taxing the rich cannot pay for the entitlement state if we wanted a larger government has assured g_d_p_ we would have to raise taxes substantially on everyone mister obama cannot argue that we can break the fiscal ship simply by taxing the rich no i would agree with that we need other things including maybe an even bigger stimulus than we had would have been beneficial major cuts military spending was hit by the time on uh... this uh... revelation from glenn hubbard by disgruntled words still blowing down on people down government uh... and i guess i'm happy for him because uh... it seems to be like what's happening after this election is some republicans obviously not all are coming down to earth and embracing facts and what would actually be good for the country as opposed to what would be good for winning an election which turned out to *** true because they lost the election running on those things so brother fred careless
