Quote:Sorry, it's the House Of Representatives that has the Taxing power or to write the tax code. Not the Senate, and not the President

 

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defenceand general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

 

 

“All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills.”
— U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 7, clause 1

 

You missed my point entirely.

 

Obama doesn't want to raise taxes on the people like the article state, because (no matter how much some people want to label them as such, corporations aren't people).  He wants to raise taxes on corporations.  (And even then not through executive power)  And if he can't, he wants to close loopholes -- what's wrong with closing loopholes?  If he finds a way to do it within his powers as President, then how is closing loopholes a bad thing?
