We could be taxed for not voting democrat.
The fact of the matter is, America is no longer a free country, and there’s no way to fix that.
“For example, governments could impose taxes on firms that do not provide pension plans. They could tax people who choose not to bike to work. “
... Or for not buying broccoli at least once a week... or....for not buying a Volt car once every five years...or..
the list is endless.
The gov can make a list of things that you must buy, or pay a penalty/tax. Talk about total government control.
They already charge “sin taxes” on things like cigarettes, but now they can charge taxes for NOT buying something they mandate that you should buy.
Bttt.
All I hear from demonrats is that this tax will only effect the top 1% (Not true! but that isn’t my point) and they keep calling them deadbeats for not buying that product. Now here is my point, if it were the top 1% that isn’t buying health insurance, it is by choice! They pay cash instead and pay a whole lot less, they DO NOT leave the bill for others to pay, and in fact may help to keep prices for medical care from going even higher! Why is no one calling them out on that? Deadbeats???? Because they pay cash and choose not to purchase insurance? What is it they don’t like, that these people get it for less money? This entire bill is the most convoluted thing I have ever seen in my life, and so is the rationale they are trumpeting to convince us otherwise. Also, insurance DOES NOT GUARANTEE access. That is said loud or often enough!
There is a way to fix it.... It may require a war however.
That, sadly, is a losing proposition.
More like they give you a tax credit for buying a bicycle and there-fore those who don’t buy one pay more taxes than those that do.
But Obama didn’t want to admit Obama-care was a tax.
That's the truth!
We’ll be taxed for a lot more than not biking if this islamist wins a second term. We’ll be paying the jizya.
Put simply, Congress may tax and spend. This grant gives the Federal Government considerable influence even in areas where it cannot directly regulate. The Federal Government may enact a tax on an activity that it cannot authorize, forbid, or otherwise control.
They've found a way now.
Pelosi’s et all problem are the free riders who can afford to pay for medical services, but chosse to stick the bill “to the rest of us”.
I suppose Pelosi, Axelrod et all never heard of Debt Collectors and Skip tracers.
The Progs could “collect” all of the cash from the deadbeat among the 1%, and put some good people to work.
They do not need the ACA and 0bamatax
People WILL be taxed for not exercising. And Roberts KNOWS people will be taxed for not eating broccoli.....or what the government says is healthy.
Another way to look at the ridiculous “penalty” debate is to simply observe that HHS set aside $500 million for IRS enforcement of the ACA. The number of agents ranges from 500 to 16500 I read somewhere...
So the IRS may or may not be in the “penalty” business. But they sure as hell are in the tax business with all the authority to seize assets, garnish wages, and audit your ass until the “penalty” is resolved to their satisfaction.
For one side yes. it is.
I’d say our side, cableguy.
We have no way of opposing the US military, and they have been promoting very left wing officers for some time now.
That is by design.
Those Wesley Clark wannabees are there, but will they have grunts to carry out their orders effectively? What they’ve been doing to the army cuts both ways.
Why?
