In Michigan, President Obama affirms tax stand

REDFORD, Mich. — President Obama warned Monday that he ‘‘won’t compromise’’ on his demands that the wealthiest Americans pay higher tax rates, digging in on the chief sticking point between the White House and Republicans as they seek a way to avert the so-called fiscal cliff.

Obama brought his pressure-Congress campaign to the heart of industrial America, ripping lines from his own reelection bid as the nation inched closer to a perilous economic cliff.

Ah, the sour-grapes crowd checks in.
