White House press secretary Jay Carney pushed back against Mitt Romney’s campaign stump accusation that President Obama wanted to put free enterprise on trial.
“This president’s absolute faith and commitment to the free enterprise system is profound,” Carney told reporters during his daily briefing. Carney went on to note that the president has cut business taxes for small businesses more than a dozen times, and has instituted a program to roll back regulations that are outdated or burdensome.
Carney said the president is committed to economic fairness, however. “Our tax system needs to be fixed so that billionaires don’t pay a lower rate than working class and middle class Americans,” he said.
