Obama pushes tax hikes on rich to curb deficits

President Obama outlined a deficit plan raising taxes on high earners and closing loopholes while protecting Social Security and slowing Medicare cuts. He warned Republicans to approve revenue increases or face vetoes, framing the issue as math not class warfare. The plan also counts $1 trillion in savings from troop withdrawals and seeks support from a joint deficit committee.

Airline security fees would double to 10 dollars and rise to 15 by 2017. Federal workers pay would rise with a 1.2 percentage point deduction for pension costs. Military retirees face a 200 dollar fee at 65 plus higher drug costs. Corporate jet owners incur a 100 dollar flight fee.
