US STATE OF THE UNION (1st add) President Obama said he will not wait for congressional legislation to speed up growth and expand opportunities for American families. He said he will act alone by Executive Order whenever he can. Mr. Obama said that while corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, average wages have barely budged, inequality has deepened, and too many Americans are working more than ever just to get by. The president also called for changes in the tax code to reward companies that create jobs at home and eliminate what he called incentives to ship jobs overseas. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/content/us-state-of-the-union-1st-add/1839793 .html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/content/us-state-of-the-union-1st-add/1839793.html
