Mitt's Mendacity, Continued


Once again, Steve Benen chronicles 25 instances of Willard "Corporations Are People Too" Romney's lying through his foie gras hole. Our whopper this week? It's always a tough choice, but we have to go with Number 25:

"The great majority of small business -- 54% of American workers work in businesses taxed as individuals. So when the president wants to raise taxes on individuals as he's proposed from 35% to 40%, he kills jobs. If your priority is crushing people, vote for him."

As Benen notes: "Only about 3% of American small businesses would be affected by the higher rate, and there is literally no evidence to suggest Clinton-era top rates on the wealthy 'kills jobs.'"
