(CNSNews.com) - Hollywood actor Jason Biggs best known for his appearances in the 'American Pie' movies, said it would be a “smart move” for President Barack Obama to raise taxes on the wealthy. Obama has proposed to raise taxes on couples making over $250,000 per year and individuals with income above $200,000 per year.
Biggs was asked if he was concerned that President Obama will raise taxes on the wealthy.
“No, I think there is this, you know, inequity when it comes to taxation in America that, you know, I think if, I think it could do a lot to help solve our fiscal concerns, our deficit, I really do. I think it’s a smart move and I think those kinds of tax breaks for the wealthy that the last administration put into place have done more and created more trouble than they have been helpful for sure,” he told CNSNews.com on the red carpet at an event sponsored by the Creative Coalition.
Biggs also said he will be supporting President Obama for re-election.
“From my vantage point I don’t think he’s losing Hollywood. I think there’s certainly people that have been maybe disheartened, at least when it comes to, you know, speaking of the arts, specifically I think, you know, there are cuts that he’s even supported in this next budget layout and so that’s a bit disheartening when it comes even from the White House but overall his stance on arts has been pretty great,” he said.
“But, you know, he came into a very tough situation and, you know, I
don’t envy his position, it’s a lot that he’s got to deal with and he
certainly has my full support still and I think he’s doing a great job
of being diplomatic and addressing the right things in the right way and
I’m behind him for 2012 for sure.”
