As with so many other things, when it comes to finding ways to pad the government’s pockets, President Obama prefers to skip over that whole Congress thing. Just ask Josh Earnest! According to him, forcing corporations to pay more in taxes through executive action is an option the president would like to keep on his table:

No Shiite?
Well, keep going Barry....
Who’s going to stop him if he uses “executive action” to do ANYTHING?
“OK, today we’re going to address the Crusader threat. All Christians are hereby ordered to the nearest train station for processing.”
No one..
Everytime the Republicans (and honestly the democrats) lay down and take it, Obama gets bolder..
Civil wars have started over less.
I think he is overstepping himself to the point there will be blowback in congress that has to be done to prove they still exist.
In that case, he can use executive action to nullify Convention of States amendments. It’s time for a divorce.
It’s been six years. I am not holding my breath for some blowback. Hearings - maybe.
“all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed”
Does Josh Earnest leave an actual slime trail wherever he goes? or does it just seem like he should?
The states have to do it. All our efforts need to be on getting nullification candidates elected at state level. If our states say, “screw your EO. We’ll send you what we want to send or nothing,” what will Obama do? Start a Civil War? Let him try. Is Texas going to let Fedgov occupy Louisiana and arrest Jindal? Is Nebraska going to sit idly by while Fedgov kills thousands in Kansas?
The states would have to restructure income tax withholding such that fed withholding goes into an escrow instead of to the feds,
then defend their citizens from fed prosecution.
IDIOTS, how often does it need to be stated that corporations don't pay taxes, their customers (US) pay the taxes in the end!
IDIOTS!
Agreed. I think Colorado tried to do that a few years ago, but the court made them stop. I think it’s time we ignore the courts too. The states get to decide if something is constitutional or not.
If the state legislature passes it and the governor signs some anti-fed legislation, and a fed court tells them “no”, well, the whole point was anti-fed legislation, so they should just tell the fed court to pound sand.
Yep, but we’ve seen it over and over.
