White House Press Secretary Jay Carney says during a press conference, "Rates have to go up on top earners - on millionaires and billionaires - everyone making over $250,000."

Carney continues, "[President Obama] doesn't hold that position because it's inherently good, he doesn't hold it because he wants to punish wealthy Americans, he holds it because it is mathematically sound."
