After posting what I did, I did a quick google search on the idea of a continuous tax function, sure that some mathematician had come up with one before.

An analysis of his plan by a think tank which he himself previously described as a neutral third party shows that his plan would give massive tax cuts to the top 5% (not just 1%, I concede). To pay for this, and to increase defense spending, and to reduce the deficit (all Romney positions) would require eliminating tax KyCobbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11542449.post-14388447784538829602012-08-03T15:02:04.522-04:002012-08-03T15:02:04.522-04:00KyCobb,

It sounds catchy, but there is no way that any policy will ever be beneficial/harmful to 99% of the population and harmful/beneficial to only the other 1%. Also, it's useless to argue over the entire platform of a political party, because most Americans don't agree with multiple numbers of the positions held by both parties.

The liberals already won't vote for Romney, and the people who want gay marriage to be illegal are probably already going to vote for Romney anyway.
