5. Rmoney is screwed on this one. He claims he didn't raise taxes in MA

but now that penalties are considered taxes it is clear he raised taxes by half a billion dollars.


He needs it to not be a tax so that he didn't raise taxes. Unfortunately, for him, the "IT'S A TAX!" cry has been taken up by all the RW airheads who can't see that they are damaging their own candidate with that talking point.


I don't think this one is his fault. It is all the talking heads who attack our president so regularly that they don't think about it. They all should have just let the tax/penalty die a natural death of about 3 news cycles. Now it will be in the debates and Rmoney will need to answer for this again after people have begun to pay attention.
