The Richer You Are, The More Tax Breaks You Get

Your premise is false.  Romney does address the deduction issue.

Duh.  The richer you are the more raw dollars in taxes you pay. The richer you are the more people you employ. The richer you are the more gas you buy, the more vehicles you own, the more responsibilities you have, the more freeloaders you carry on your back.............. the list goes on-and-on.

Every State Taxes Its 1 Percent At A Lower Rate Than Low-Income Households

[Woody]

Kentay, can you convert that to raw dollars?  And personally I could care less what individual states do other than to say it seems the more successful states have lower tax rates than the higher tax states.  Also keep in mind the president himself admitted that higher federal taxes on the rich are more for fairness than for raising revenue.  40 billion a year on a trillion dollar yearly deficit won't do a thing.  If you read something other than thinkprogress you would be current on this.
