President Barack Obama Friday told an enthusiastic crowd of students at the University of Michigan that extra taxes on millionaires should help subsidize their futures.
Without mentioning Gov. Mitt Romney by name, Obama used his campaign-style event to urge higher taxes on the nation’s most prosperous to reduce student loan-payments, increase student grants, fund universities and pay for high-tech research.
“You’re the ones who need help,” the president told students gathered at the University of Michigan’s Al Glick Field House.
“A quarter of all millionaire [earners] pay lower taxes than millions of middle-class households… [audience boos] Is that fair? … does it make sense to you? … do we want to invest in things like… student loans and grants?”
