Mitt Romney charged President Obama with raising taxes on the middle class in his convention speech. 

“And let me make this very clear – unlike President Obama, I will not raise taxes on the middle class,” Romney said.

In at least one previous ad, Romney has made the claim that Obama raised taxes on the middle class as well, referencing the individual mandate portion of the Affordable Care Act, which would fine a small number of Americans who don’t buy health insurance.
