Obama to unilaterally raise taxes (L)

[Originalist]

Right after his executive order on amnesty, President Obama was asked by a reporter if he could raise taxes through executive unilaterally. Obama laughed out loud and replied, "Of course not!!"
Well, apparently he now thinks he can. We have not seen even the tip of the ice berg friends.

Hail to the Dictator-In-Chief. All bow before the Dear Leader. Those who do not bow will receive 30 lashes.

All we can do is pray that God gets that man out of office ASAP.

"Senator Bernie Sanders sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew Friday identifying a number of executive actions he believes the IRS could take, without any input from Congress, that would close loopholes currently used by corporations."

The above quote is from the article.

This is very different from Obama unilaterally raising taxes! Not only that, but the actions in question target corporations, not individual people.

The Press Secretary said Obama was interested. In case you have not noticed, the federal departments do the President's bidding. Either way, you do not seem to have any concern that we have entered the post-constitutional era.

And republicans have expressed a desire to close loopholes as part of a tax-law revision; done the right way through the legislative process. The administration is willing to raise revenues but not cut spending through the use of the President's powerful pen. The democrats always want to have more to spend.

Let's see if the House and the Senate can get their act together to get anything done.

So far they seem incapable of doing anything without a whole lot of unnecessary political drama.

And I'm sure you can cite where the Constitution gives the President authority to do that.

They need to do something about Executive Orders for any President.

Odumdum doesn't know what he's doing any way. Let him issue the executive orders and then let his actions backfire. It will just prove how dumb he is.
