"a fee is not a tax"

In one example today, Mitt cited freeway exit ramp adverts for food and gas that we all see. The annual fee was $200, which is like giving it away. They raised it dramatically. This instance is definitely NOT a tax.

He says many of his fee increases were not broad-based, and could arguably not be called taxes. ??? FWIW

Of course it is. Who do you think will pay the extra cost? The consumer. The slimy charlatan is playing word games, I'm surprised you don't have the intellect to see that, or are you for corporate taxes on thing like oil as Hillary wants?
