URGENT: White House Confirms Obama Planning Huge New Executive Order

Here we go again. White House press secretary Josh Earnest has officially confirmed that President Barack Obama plans to implement yet another executive order. This one is slated to send tax rates skyrocketing through the roof!
The hoopla started last Friday, when Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders submitted a letter to the White House that asked the president to nullify six currently active corporate tax breaks. Closing these tax breaks would raise $100 billion in a decade, but also cost us innumerable jobs.
When questioned about this letter by Ed Henry, senior White House correspondent with Fox News, Earnest first tried to dodge the question by saying that the presidents ability to use executive authority to move the country in the right direction is always a possibility.
This statement signifies that the White House views a potential tax increase in a positive light. Ed Henry rebutted it by bluntly asking, Would the president raise taxes by executive action?

It's not like I'm surprised. I am quite aware of the inverse relationship between the time Obama has left in his term and the intensity in the manner in which he conjures up new ways to make life as onerous, demeaning, burdensome, punishing, threatening to Americans, America and its way of life.

Nothing.
The cowardly lion GOP will cave in and roll over.
They won’t impeach him for running afoul of the Constitution.
So he will get away with it.

Uh, tax rates, breaks and so, are enacted in law. He can’t change them. Procedures and policies, sure, but not rates (which breaks are part of).

When they do Democrats will demand the GOP be tried for treason.
They prefer doing nothing to getting a bad press.

BTW, we’re not powerless you know, despite how many seem to think. WE have a Constitution. It belongs to US.
Through our states we can nullify each and every unconstitutional federal act. Don’t have to wait to do that.
In the longer term, we can process change through a Convention of States and enforceable constitutional amendments.
It is up to US.

the Payroll tax increase hurt workers, eliminating tax breaks will hurt companies and ultimately workers, I’d start by asking the Unions if they’re butthurt enough

The House and Senate are known moral cowards. Moral cowards are physical cowards. What does Obama have to fear?

Does the GOP care? They will just cave and nothing worthwhile in this defunct Republican Party in Washington. Tax payers care? Most too damn dumb to care as long as the communists Democrats hand them cash. America is finished.

And the last Executive Order turned out to NOT be an EO, or have much in the way of teeth, but it certainly got a lot of freepers going.
Words mean things, people. An EO is an EO. Period.

“Closing these tax breaks would raise $100 billion in a decade”
Nullified by the concurrent loss in revenue as businesses shrink operations, move operations overseas, and employee numbers shrink.
So their projected revenue from this will likely actually be in negative integers.

Obama needs to be impeached, convicted, and removed from office just to reestablish the co equal branches of government. Politics and everything else will have to take the hindmost.

Obola should just disband the ceremonial Congress.
It would save America a lot of money.
They are proven useless,
utter liars, and 110% self-serving.
