Is constantly quoted by Obama Inc as a non partisan entity and it is cited for support for the Obunny attack ads on Romney. But how non-partisan is it and how accurate is that Center's claims
well first of all its a joint venture of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institute . Now the BI is left leaning though not as biased as say the New york times, the white house (yeah Obunny claims have cited the White House as authority), Paul Krugman or other common sources of Obunny spin.
but here is a good counter to the TPC's ASSumptions
Mitt Romney's Tax Plan and Tax Policy Center's Skewed Analysis
The Tax Policy Center (TPC) conducted an analysis of Governor Mitt Romney’s tax reform plan. Governor Romney’s plan follows all four requirements of tax reform. However, the report’s authors conspicuously chose to ignore the requirement for distributional neutrality. The results of their analysis have garnered much attention because they erroneously claim that the plan would necessarily cut taxes for the rich, whom their report defines as those with incomes over $200,000, and raise taxes on middle-income and low-income taxpayers (all other taxpayers).
