At the Iowa State Fair in August, Mitt Romney told an angry questioner that “corporations are people, too” — and a month later, he’s not backing down. Politico reports on comments he made at a town hall this morning in Florida:

“I’ll communicate to the private sector, by the way, that we like you,” Romney said in response to a question about how to encourage banks to lend more money. “We like enterprise. I was in Iowa the other day, and people suggested that we just raise taxes on corporations.”
He went on: “I told them, corporations are people. … Raising taxes on corporations is raising taxes on people.”
