1st thing on her list is not Taxes so no worries there it's going to be a executive orders on Gun Control then when she get's all your guns she will be unstoppable

Sad but true

All I know is I had to dip into my 401k just to pay taxes this year. It has gotten worse every year since the bush tax plan has expired.

I have employees that are married with a child. They claimed single and they still had to pay Fedral taxes. And they make under 30 k

Couple of notes.

The President does not set tax policy. The House and Senate do. Each candidate can claim what they'll do, but it requires a cooperative legislative branch to get either one done. And neither of these candidates are going to get cooperation unless the Dems happen to take the majority. The Republicans hate both candidates and are likely to block both candidates as much as possible.

Executive Order is actually somewhat limited in many ways.

Something is screwy with that tax return. If a married couple with a child makes under 30K, then they are not paying taxes at the end of the year unless they claimed tax exemption at the beginning of the year--unless of course, you mean each parent is individually making right under 30k, bringing the household income to just under 60k. Side note-- if you have a couple who, combined, are making under 30k per year, then there is another issue. Even at $10/hr, that couple would be right at 40k full time.

The president cannot do this stuff by executive order...to believe that is possible requires some serious tin foil hat wearing.

People need to realize that our government is set up to ensure gridlock. And in the rare circumstance that one side gets a little too powerful, they tend to get tossed out in the very next cycle. When's the last time we had a president and both houses of congress in the same party? Whenever it was, it didn't last long.

Also despite attempts to paint her as a Bernie type socialist psycho, HRC is an establishment moderate and I would be stunned if she governed any other kind of way.
