U.S. banks are worried about the impact of a planned tax on lenders and believe other industries that received federal money, such as car makers, should be targeted, a top economist at a banking group said Friday.

Thursday, President Barack Obama said banks have a responsibility to make taxpayers whole for the financial-sector bailout and should pay a proposed tax by rolling back big bonuses.
