The
president's proposals are likely to be cheered by the Democratic
Party's liberal base, but the tax increases are all but certain to be
non-starters with the new Republican majority on Capitol Hill.
Obama
will announce the tax proposals Tuesday night in his State of the Union
address. Senior administration officials disclosed details Saturday on
the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss
the proposals by name ahead of the president.
The
president's address — his first to a Republican-led Congress — will
also include calls for lawmakers to make community college free for many
students, increase paid leave for workers and enact broad cybersecurity
rules.
