Actually I can walk you thru how you came to that conclusion.
[ul][li]Mitt Romney used tax deductions.[/li][li]Mitt Romney is a Republican.[/li][li]Ergo, tax deductions are morally wrong.[/ul][/li]
The OP was arguing something slightly different -
[ul][li]Romney used tax deductions to reduce his tax rate[/li][li]Any action by a rich person to reduce his tax rate instead of increasing it is morally repellent[/li][li]Romney is rich[/li][li]Ergo, tax deductions are morally repellent.[/ul][/li]
The Obama example was pointing out the unexpressed part of the above syllogism, which is that this only applies to Republicans. That’s where you came in.
Glad to clear it up. Don’t be afraid to ask for help with complex things like logic and morality. Maybe it will help.
