IRS To Become Obama's Health Gestapo

File this under 'you never thought it would happen in America.'

The Senate healthcare bill that is scheduled to be 'deemed as passed' by the House of Representatives Sunday afternoon, H.R. 3590, mandates the Internel Revenue Service as the enforcement arm of Barack Obama's dictate that all Americans be covered by health insurance.

The IRS will be empowered to check every month to ensure that every American meets Obama's dictated health insurance standards.

The IRS is also empowered to levy fines on those not in compliance. Under existing federal law, refusal to follow the rules of the IRS can lead to imprisonment--or worse.

An analysis released yesterday by Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee estimates that 16,500 IRS agents will need to be hired to meet the expanded authority granted the IRS.

The nine page .PDF document details how the IRS will become the new overlord of the American people. A new section of the IRS code, 5000A, would be created by the bill. Americans would be required to maintain insurance deemed acceptable by the secretaries of the Treasury and Health and Human Services. Failure to do so would result in enforcement fines levied by the IRS in the hundreds or thousands of dollars depending on the income of the offender. The fines would be known as the Indivdiual Mandate Tax. The report adds that the IRS could add interest and penalties for failure to pay the IMT.

Health insurance providers would be required to file reports with the IRS on each individual they insure. The IRS would be able to share confidential taxpayer information with Health and Human Services.

According to the report, exemptions to the IMT dictate would be granted by Obama to approved groups and individuals for the following reasons: religious conscience, members of a health care sharing ministry, those below the poverty line, members of Indian tribes, incarcerated individuals and illegal aliens.

Under this bill, every American would be forced to answer to Barack Obama. If they fail to submit to his will, they will be fined, imprisoned or worse.

I share a first name with a very disagreeable democrat congressman, I won’t say which one.

Call me naive, but, why do government entities, other than law enforcement and the military, need guns?

2nd Amendment?

I sense PBO simply wants to break this country apart in a second civil war.

The Feudal Overlord Wana-bees will insert their proboscis into whatever wealth the sheeple have and suckle away until there is no individual wealth, or private property... except among the Landed Feudal/Mercantile Oligarchic elite at the top of the pyramid.

Another possible situation is that you will see a functioning underground economy as you say.

Exactly. The people individually should have guns. I don’t see a need for the IRS to have any. You’d think their calculators would be weapon enough.

This article in 2008 says sales as of Sept '08 were up 8~10% over 2007, so it looks like 10% compounding sales growth so far.

Bodes well!

I don't intend to stay in jail either. This bill, when signed into law, won't stand constitutional scrutiny. If I go down in a blaze of glory fighting off being jailed, I'll be labeled as a troubled fanatic (ala Randy Weaver) after they send in the BATF to kill me. At this point in time, I figure a public trial where you can captivate the media and beat up the government every day is the way to go, and it also assures my grandchildren that I will be around to fight the next battle against tyranny.

These plans are subject to change as circumstances warrant.

The Empty Suit, from what I understand, has no desire to leave office voluntarily, but will probably hold off until October of this year, or of 2012, to get the civil unrest going or instigate it (and I don’t put it past him that he might). Civil unrest in October, which means “We have riots going on and what not — how can we have an election!” So he stays in, ad infinitum et ad nauseam.

In case they hear of any more Elian Gonzaleses out there, right?

[DuncanWaring]

Any idea how much sales are up, percentage-wise, over, say, 2007?

For roughly a decade prior to 2008, background checks averaged roughly 10 million per year.

Note that a single background check may correspond to the sale of several new firearms, or it may just represent the reentry of a used firearm back to the consuming public.

It would probably be accurate to say sales are up 40% over prior years.
