Romney's horse gets better healthcare than you do.

An email I got from moveon.

"When the Olympics open on Friday, the Romneys' dancing horse, Rafalca, will be there to compete. The horse lives quite a cushy life on a 5,000-acre estate, with a chartered jet, and better healthcare than the average American family—including chiropractors and massages.

The irony jumps out at you: Romney pampers that precious horse, but he can't wait to repeal affordable healthcare for 30 million Americans.

Mitt and Ann write off $77,000 in horse expenses annually off their taxes. As taxpayers paying wage withholding, you (I.e. Normal taxpayers) are paying for that horse.
...and Mitt may have been doing that for up to seven years.
But we'll never know because he refuses to release his tax returns.
