It's Time to Raise Taxes on the Rich Obama says

The election is now over and President Obama won a second term in office. Since learning the results last Tuesday evening, Mr. Obama returned to Washington and is hard at work.

During this week, Mr. Obama attended three 1/2 hour daily briefings and met with Hillary Clinton once.  He accepted the resignation of CIA Director Petraeus, attended a Veterans Day Ceremony at Arlington Cemetery and delivered 3 speeches.

His current focus is to push Congress into raising taxes on those who he feels are wealthy.  These are the working single taxpayers who earn more than $200,000 per year, and families who earn over $250,000 per year.

For this purpose, he is meeting with special interest lobbyists, union leaders, and progressive groups such as MoveOn, SEIU, and the AFL-CIO. These are some of the major groups who contributed heavily to the 2012 Obama for America Presidential campaign. The meetings will not be public.
