If the Dems don't like it, frick'm. They can rescind the EO the next time they take the WH.


Is that how our federal government works now?

Now there's an idea---fair tax, flat tax, whichever would work the best. (and I haven't listened to Krauthammer, lol)

Fair tax is cool and all but my holy grail is a balanced budget amendment.

Why not?

Obama is going to set a new post constitutional precedent. The next Republican president might as well get what he wants.

The first time a Congress tried to raise the sales tax you might get it in a landslide.

That would be difficult to implement by EO because you are dealing with congress and they would not be a willing participate.

But instructing the nation to pay less taxes...I believe you'd get 100% compliance including Democrats.

Hell yea, and he should also do an E.O. that the corporate tax rate is not to excede 17 percent.

And forbid the IRS from going after tax cheats, and give amnesty to all tax cheaters.

WTF, we live in a world of lawlessness.

Flat tax, fair tax just brings us back to what we have now, where one is penalized for producing more. I want to end Tax discrimination, I have a dream......

The FairTax does nothing to punish production.

Fair Tax sticks it to the most vulnerable among us.

20% out of $20,000 vs 20% out of $200,000

Which one is hurt more?

If its progressive, based on income, then it does. I want everyone paying the same percentage, no bias...That's the only fair way, or there will always be one side against another..

Too late. Obama will issue an EO that allows a 3rd term and declares him the winner.

I have been warning the lefty's on this sort of thing for a long time now.

They may think its funny and act snide about it now BUT the political winds will shift.

And they could shift very HARD.

Don't think that once this obama is out of power that all is going to be forgotten and it will be nicey-nice when the political winds change.

Not really.

I believe the way it is written now, everyone gets $650 a month from the Feds. That's equivalent to $34,000 of tax free income.
