“.......we are talking here about taxation with no representation...We are so screwed.”
Here’s how it is going to be interpreted and implemented. When this begins, you most likely won’t be subject to the tax, you won’t be able to bring suit because you have no standing. For you, it is a political question. The judge will tell you to contact your elected representatives. For the (big evil) corporations upon whom the presidential tax is imposed, a suit will be brought. The court will find that the executive power exists to implement Congressional intent that was written in an ambiguous language. Once this happens, this disease will spread to individuals...it will show up on cell phone bills, fuel purchases, etc etc and be upheld.
Don’t bother thinking if some Republican became President and wanted to implement executive order “tax cuts”. First, he will be painted into the corner by the leftist media that such actions are unconstitutional. Courts will be ready to issue injunctions. Of course the Repub will point out that he has the power based on Obama’s executive tax precedence. Then Mr Repub will swerve into a talk about tradition, respecting the Constitution, respecting precedence, wanting to work with Congress, blah blah blah. Obama’s taxes remain in place until the next leftist can get in office to further implement new executive taxes.
I do believe you’re psychic...
Wow — you seem to actually believe that the Republican party is at all what it clams to be about; that's kinda cute in its naivete.
Never forget Obama told Joe the Plumber “I want to spread the wealth around.” It was a slip of the tongue so the leftist media went all out to destroy Joe. And that effort wasn’t even needed. He started spreading the wealth and nobody did anything to stop him.
