My feeling—it’s probably not rational and it wouldn’t would work—my feeling is this: Just ignore it. Don’t comply. I am at the point of open defiance and resistance toward the federal behemoth, whether that’s Obamacare, the HHS mandate, whatever. Let them come after us. Call their bluff. If there were a realistic way to do a secession or a civil war or a mass emigration, I’m about ready for it. I know, that’s just how I feel. It probably wouldn’t work.
The soviets jailed or killed tens of millions of people for less than that. After seeing what the administration can get away with(re: the person who made the film about imprisoned) I am less inclined to speak up, but rather use my purchasing power to show my dissatifaction.
I will defy. I have an affordable catastrophic policy that will be outlawed. We are all required to buy one-size-fits-all insurance, and I will not be able to afford it (yet, I make too much for gvernment assistance). Thus, I will be forced to pay the penalty. But, I will not. I have already started withholding LESS from my paycheck so that I will not be due a refund at tax time . . . a refund from which the IRS could just withhold the penalty amount. Instead, I will owe taxes and will subtract from my check the penalty amount. Yes, let them come after me. If we meet in the Gulag, fear not; I will bring my chess board. Do you play chess?
