Mitt Romney has argued for months that President Obama raised taxes on middle class Americans and small businesses during his first term. But during a rally in Ohio on Tuesday, the GOP presidential candidate inadvertently undermined his claim, calling tax increases a “new idea” that Obama would institute in a second term:

ROMNEY: His idea now. He’s got one new, one new idea. I admit this, he has one thing he did not do in his first four years, said he’s going to do in his next four years, which is to raise taxes. And is there anybody who thinks that raising taxes will help grow the economy?

Bill Clinton raised taxes in 1993, and yes, it helped the economy to grow. Maybe Mitt needs to 'bone up' on economic history.

Yes, and it was Obama's tax increases that WRECKED the economy!!

Oh, wait. The only tax he increased was on cigarettes. And other tobacco products. Yeah, that wrecked the economy.
