No you don't understand, we're going to have bipartisanship, for reasons.

Look I’m sorry the US will not be turning into Denmark as you had hoped but be reasonable

Part of being reasonable is knowing who has the power to increase taxes.

I believe he could do it through EA, unless taxes can’t be changed that way?

Is EA an executive order? Either way, Congress has the power to tax, presidents do not. Any executive order attempting to raise taxes would be struck down.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Maybe after the midterms.

Seriously, did you hit your head???

macphisto, do you have any proof? or are you just blindly reiterating the desperate conspiracy farts of that foul piece of absolute shit?

Or simply admitting when I’m wrong, thanking 4/5 for setting me straight, and promptly moving on

For how smart you are you’re kind of dumb sometimes. Even I knew that !

To be a little fair to Trag, there are some paths a president could take (which both Trump and Obama reportedly considered) to change tax code through executive action. The arguments are that you can cut taxes by directing the treasury and IRS not to collect or enforce them (Trump floated doing this with the payroll tax) and you can increase taxes by directing them to eliminate certain loopholes (Obama floated doing this with certain corporate taxes, and Sanders had included this in some of his plans). But AFAIK it hasn't actually been done before, and it seems like it would mostly be nibbling around the edges rather than actual tax increases. More importantly, it's not clear to what extent it would hold up, especially if the opposition controls the Senate AND SCOTUS.

There's definitely some fuckery afoot.

Poll watcher raises alarms over suspicious activity in Detroit during early morning.

A new video provided to Texas Scorecard from a poll watcher in Detroit shows wagons, suitcases, and coolers moving in and out of a vote-counting center during the early morning.

In a video taken by Kellye SoRelle—a Texas lawyer and member of Lawyers for Trump—a white van is seen parked in front of the location at 2:40 a.m. A box is taken out of the van and placed into a red wagon, which is then pulled inside the facility. SoRelle is raising alarms that the box may have been a ballot box that arrived long after all ballots were expected to have been received at the counting facility.

What is the problem here?

Mac's pivot to being a full-on, pigeon-brained conspiracy wingnut happened faster than I could have predicted.

A record number of dead people voted, so I'd say it was a success.

Fixed.

Did you?

I did. You're welcome.

Republicans banned MI Wi and PA from counting the early votes as they rolled in. Why? So that people could claim "funny business" when Trump lost

Your brain just doesn't have enough holes in it to see the obvious connection between people moving items around and voter fraud.

This is why I originally asked the question. FDR even issued an executive order that attempted to essentially establish a 100% marginal tax rate by establishing a salary/wage cap of $25,000.
