A top adviser to President Barack Obama says the White House objects to “permanent” tax cuts for the wealthy but is silent on the possibility of extending current tax rates for the short term.
Obama adviser David Axelrod says the president only wants to make permanent the tax cuts for the middle class that expire at the end of this year. He urged Congress to resolve the tax-cut question during a lame-duck session of Congress.
