Obama Vows Veto for Full Extension of Bush Tax Cuts

Jul 9, 2012

In an interview tonight with New Orleans CBS affiliate WWLTV, President Obama vowed to veto any bill that extends the Bush-era tax cuts “across the board,” including for individuals earning more than $200,000 and families above $250,000.

“What if Congress were to extend them for everyone across the board, including the wealthy? Would you veto it?” asks WWLTV reporter Karen Swenson.

“I would veto it,” Obama said.
