Adding a new attack line on Monday to his stump speech, the president railed against rival Mitt Romney’s tax proposals, saying they amount to “Robin Hood in reverse.” “It’s Romney Hood,” the president added to loud applause from 500 supporters in a Stamford, Connecticut ballroom. – Obama debuts ‘Romney Hood’
WHAT WOULD YOU pay in taxes under a Pres. Romney? If you’re in the middle class, Team Obama says you’d pay significantly more. The Tax Calculator will give you the bad news, according to the Obama campaign, whose new web ad demonstrates the results.
But it was given a new name on the campaign trail on Monday by Pres. Obama, calling his opponent “Romney Hood.” Accusing Mitt Romney that his tax policy will take from the middle class and give tax breaks to the rich, it’s the reverse of the legendary character who was a folk hero to the less advantaged.
It’s trending on Twitter this morning, #RomneyHood.
Very effective! If this is true, I pay way more taxes under Mittens.
I have to say this is very good thinking. They keep the tax issue front and center and Romney will either: 1. Claim it is false and a lie 2. Justify why it is OK to increase taxes on the middle class 3. Ignore it.
Somehow I don’t think #2 and #3 are viable approaches especially when Romney’s name is in the URL…lol…
