It shouldn't be missed. And don't miss the nine-page response to Romney's "garbage" claim.
The Tax Policy Center, a respected nonpartisan group, made Mitt Romney's life a little more difficult two weeks ago, publishing a detailed analysis of the Republican's tax plan. The findings were brutal: sticking to Romney's own parameters, the Republican intends to raise taxes on 95% of the country in order to finance tax breaks for the rich.
Note, the policy analysts "bent over backwards to literally give Romney every possible benefit of the doubt" and worked under the dubious assumption that more Republican tax cuts will stimulate the economy. The results were still a disaster.
Romney condemned the nonpartisan analysis this week as "garbage." Yesterday, the Tax Policy Center published its response, explaining that the facts are stubborn, even if Romney doesn't like them.

It's not "garbage"; it's arithmetic. To reiterate what we discussed when the report was first published, there's simply no way around the fact that Romney's figures don't add up. No serious person can run the numbers and reach a different conclusion.
