U.S. President held Friday first speech after the election, in which he argued that the rich have to pay slightly higher taxes.
He said he would not accept any compromise which implies that the wealthy should not be taxed more.
"This measure was very important campaign and I think most Americans agrees with my approach," said Obama, according to Huffington Post.
"We can not just cut costs to return to prosperity. If you really want deficit reduction requires new methods," said the U.S. president.
Obama has a "difficult mission next year, it will reach the top tax, including tax increases and spending cuts worth U.S. $ 7 trillion over the next ten years.
In addition, the limit on federal borrowing would be increased early next year from the current level of 16.394 trillion dollars.
If you have just left, top tax would lead to the largest increase in the budget deficit in a single year from 1969 to date, 500 billion dollars will be taken out of the economy.
