Claim: Seniors beware: The Obama and Romney campaigns are making false claims about taxing Social Security benefits: Vice President Joe Biden told seniors in Florida that Romney's tax plan "would raise taxes on your Social Security." But that's not part of Romney's tax plan. It's the Obama-Biden campaign's latest misrepresentation of a nonpartisan study. The group that did the analysis disputes the campaign's interpretation of its work. The Romney campaign and the National Republican Committee falsely claim that Biden "repeatedly voted for higher taxes on Social Security benefits."
