You buy that insurance or I'll kill ya!

Irked by the decision of 20 million Americans who have declined to sign up for Obamacare, the IRS is crafting a letter to advise them of the "antisocial implications" of non-participation.
Commissioner John Koskinen explained that "failure to enroll evinces a lack of cooperation with a policy that the government has determined is necessary. Non-compliers may feel that enrollment is optional. It is not. That's why there is a fine. Paying the fine doesn't get them off the hook."
Koskinen pointed out that "not only does the amount of the fine ratchet up each year, our Agency has other tools at its disposal to try to encourage obedience. We can conduct audits, freeze bank accounts, and seize assets as a means of compelling the recalcitrant to yield to the government's wishes. We regard advising people of their peril by letter to be a most considerate measure to help them avoid unwanted complications from continued noncompliance."
In related news, Koskinen told the House Judiciary Committee that he doesn't deserve to be impeached for lying to Congress because "I was not fully informed that Agency subordinates had illegally destroyed documents under House subpoena. I, like so many others, at the highest levels of government, have been betrayed by feckless or malicious subordinates." Koskinen blamed "civil service regulations that tie the hands of those appointed by the President to carry out his policies. We don't have a free hand to replace disloyal employees with others committed to his cause."
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) characterized Koskinen's stance as "ludicrous. First, the IRS engaged in illegal discriminatory treatment against conservative groups. Then they covered up the evidence. Now the Commission wants us to believe that non-political civil service employees are the real problem? It looks like the rot at the IRS seeps down from the uppermost level."

If Trump is elected , he will then have the same power to ignore enforcement of standing law that Bozo had with immigration. I hope he announces no more IRS enforcement!!
Translation: “Why aren’t you taking your medicine? You said you wanted it. Remember? Remember when you asked Dear Leader to please give you the medicine you said you needed? So many the other good boys and girls are taking their medicine. Do we need to bring you to the hospital and make sure you take your medicine?”
Antisocial implications? That can only mean one thing. The Democratic Party(Obama and Hillary) controlled IRS is implying that 20 million of their staunchest supporters are antisocial.
This should should make an interesting PR nightmare.
“If an ordinary doofus like me can figure that out why can’t “Justice” Roberts?”
Because, unlike you the ordinary doofus, Roberts was made an offer he could not refuse.
Kinda tough playing a game where the rules are selectively enforced, eh?
