A taxing discussion
Obama Tells a Tale of ‘Romney Hood’
By PETER BAKER, NYT
President Obama has been looking for new ways to keep pressing the same attack on Mitt Romney's tax plan, and on Monday, he coined a phrase he hopes will stick: "Romney Hood."
Ever since a study came out last week suggesting that Mr. Romney's plan would result in tax increases, not cuts, for the middle class, Mr. Obama has been touting it at every campaign stop. In effect, he argues, Mr. Romney wants to take from the middle class to give more tax cuts to the rich.
"It's like Robin Hood in reverse - it's Romney Hood," Mr. Obama told supporters at a fund-raiser in Stamford, Conn.
Mr. Obama has hammered away at the tax study in the hope of taking ownership of an issue that has long bedeviled Democrats even as he presses Congress to let taxes rise for income over $250,000 a year.
