It has to do with credibility. These guys would go out and complain about a 35% tax rate on the highest bracket. Once they have to show that they really don't pay that rate, the conversation changes. The question of " what do you actually pay matters to the people listening. Under Gingrich's plan, Romney who makes 40 million or whatever would pay 0% on pretty much his entire income, while a person making 75,000 would actually pay 15%. Just because it doesn't matter to you doesn't mean it is irrelevant.
