Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley gave Obama a thumbs-up on Thursday for pursuing an end to tax breaks for the nation’s wealthiest residents.
“A return to the Clinton-era tax rates for millionaires and billionaires is a fiscally responsible and necessary step to help put our country on solid footing for recovery,” O’Malley said following Obama’s press conference on Wednesday. “I commend President Obama for his leadership on this matter. What we need right now is to remain laser focused on creating jobs, not on protecting special interest tax breaks for the wealthiest 3 percent of Americans.”
