Quite honestly, this belongs in the Distraction forum, only because that is it's purpose by design.
I won't move it, because despite what the left wants, we have the ability to expose the agenda behind it's purpose.
Yes, this is a planned distraction.

First off, only Congress has the power to tax, so this alone should raise the hackles of even the lowliest lib.
Secondly, a tax effects everyone, especially the poor whom pay far more than anyone for their very survival.
In short, this bone headed move will not only raise the ire of the right, but negatively affect every Dims running in 2016. Just one more reason for their base too stay home.

So in closing, I say go for it Marxist, nothing like driving a nail in the coffin of your own party.

Didn't Charles I, lose his head over trying to raise money without permission of Parliament? Does that mean we can soon expect to see Obama being beheaded on The Capital steps?

But that would be racist!

Oh. Wait. It's hanging that's racist. Beheadings are symbols of the Religion of Peace.

This would be fast tracked to the SCOTUS and it would be ruled unconstitutional on his merits.

O's got too many irons in the fire, so to speak, that he's bound to get burned.  Wouldn't that just be special?   

 

Go for it Barry! No one but the rabid base will like it.

Not at all!

In combat, it is referred to as swarming the defenses. Not all of his "irons" will make it through. But, enough of them will to make it worth his while!

Hell, why not?  He's getting away with changing U.S. immigration law through EO, thanks to our gutless cowards we laughingly call the U.S. Congress.

I love it! Libs have been dying for anything they could latch onto as an accomplishment.
But what does the Marxist do? Throw them an anchor.
