Sorry, but I guess you missed the point I was trying to make. The part of the law you were pointing out said any penalties charged under the law couldn’t be “forcefully” collected. But the Roberts decision said that there ARE NO PENALTIES being charged. Taxes are charged to the non-compliant. There is nothing in the law that says that unpaid TAXES can’t be collected by lien or scarfed up from refunds of other taxes or the bank account(s) of those owing taxes. I guess we’ll have to wait until 2015 when the 2014 taxes are being settled up to see how far the IRS will go to collect “its due”.
I don’t ascribe kindness to the IRS so I don’t expect they’ll be cutting anyone any slack in this regard. From the IRS’ perspective, if the Supreme Court says it’s NOT a penalty but a tax, they will agree that it’s a tax—and they WILL go after it.
If you posted that “non-enforcement” section of the bill for some other reason, let me know.
They didn't rule that. That's ridiculous.
They ruled that the fines are constitutional under congresses power to tax,
They didn't change them into anything different and certainly didnt rule that the IRS can ignore that part of the law forbidding them from punitive action. The ruling upheld that part of law if anything.
Why are you trying to scare Americans into submitting to Obamacare anyway? That is counter productive.
