It's a tax
GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney attempted to clarify his campaign's position on the individual mandate, calling the provision a tax, days after his top adviser said otherwise.
The Supreme Court has spoken and while I agreed with the dissent, that's taken over by the fact that the majority of the court said that it's a tax and therefore it is a tax," said Romney in an interview aired Wednesday on CBS This Evening.
Romney paraphrase: While I agree with SCOTUS, I disagree with the Supreme Court of the United States.
