The Individual Mandate Tax: Obama's "Mitt Did It Too" Argument

Often, when little kids are caught doing something wrong, they will use the "but, Bobby did it too" excuse; as if Bobby's badness should somehow excuse their own wrongdoing.  Children quickly learn that this tactic won't let them escape punishment.  So, its interesting to see an adult, especially one that's the President of the United States, pull that same childish stunt.  It has to do with the Individual Mandate being a tax, and especially, a tax on the middle class.

Obama and his people seem to think that he should be excused for having created a middle class tax as part of ObamaCare because Mitt did the same thing in Massachusetts with that health care law. But, Mitt Romney didn't stand up before the American people for the last 4 years and promise no new taxes on the middle class.   Obama did...and, the Supreme Court has confirmed that the Individual Mandate is, in fact, a tax on the middle class.  So, if Obama wants to continue to use the  "Mitt did it too" excuse, he should go "wash his mouth out with soap"; like any other little bad kindergartner.
