To introduce a Democratic National Committee charge that Republican candidate Mitt Romney is not from “real America,” an Iowa student levelled two disparate charges against Romney — that his tax plan would increase the deficit, and that his opposition to Obamacare is immoral — with a knock on the free market thrown in for good measure.

“Ultimately, it will be up to voters across the Hawkeye State and across America to decide what lies beneath the surface of Mitt Romney’s candidacy,” said Casey Petrashek, a senior at Iowa State University, during a press conference with the DNC vice chair. “For today’s young Americans, Mr. Romney would create a steeper path to the middle class and place the burden of paying for his tax cuts for the wealthy on the backs of my generation,” he added.
