The White House Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release April 16, 2012 Statement by the President on the Buffett Rule Tonight, Senate Republicans voted to block the Buffett Rule, choosing once again to protect tax breaks for the wealthiest few Americans at the expense of the middle class. The Buffett Rule is common sense. At a time when we have significant deficits to close and serious investments to make to strengthen our economy, we simply cannot afford to keep spending money on tax cuts that the wealthiest Americans dont need and didnt ask for. But its also about basic fairness its just plain wrong that millions of middle-class Americans pay a higher share of their income in taxes than some millionaires and billionaires. America prospers when were all in it together and everyone has the opportunity to succeed. One of the fundamental challenges of our time is building an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules. And I will continue to push Congress to take steps to not only restore economic security for the middle class and those trying to reach the middle class, but also to create an economy thats built to last. http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/04/16/statement-president-buffett-rule Kinda makes common sense
