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.

In fact all appropriations and the budget have to originate in the House, which will remain Republican.
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.
