The IRS and its 46 new powers to enforce ObamaCare
Galen Institute ^ | 6/5/2013 | Galen Institute

The power granted to the IRS to enforce ObamaCare’s mandates, taxes, penalties, reporting, and other requirements is unprecedented. Based upon Government Accountability Office data, we count 46 new responsibilities assigned to the IRS under the health law.1

IRS officials have acknowledged the huge problems these major new responsibilities will create for the agency. On March 5, 2013, an official from the Treasury Department’s Inspector General for Tax Administration, J. Russell George, testified before the House Appropriations Committee. Mr. George was asked about the tax implications of ObamaCare.

“It is unprecedented in recent history, the amount of responsibility the IRS is being given in an area that most people don’t think of as an IRS function,” George said. Americans, he added, will have more questions about their taxes because of health care penalties or credits, flooding already busy call-in and walk-in tax help centers. “This is going to lead to problems, sir,” he testified.

Many people are especially concerned about assigning an unprecedented number of major new responsibilities to implement ObamaCare to an agency whose primary task is collecting revenues to fund the Federal government.

We have used the GAO list as the basis for our list and have organized it by categories of new tasks: Collecting taxes, distributing subsidies, collecting information, and enforcing compliance.

“He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it were through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence upon his own power. “ speaking of Nimrod, Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews - Book 1 Chapter 4:2

“That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9

Whatever happened to the fact that tax bills need to originate in the House?

Whatever happened to the fact that the government has no authority to involve itself in health care to begin with?! Limited government, we hardly knew ye.

Why wait? Let’s set a date, and see if we can get something going. There are a lot of people that have resolve, and a whole lot of reason.

It's all becoming clear now.

The purpose of Ubamacare is to grind the entire US economy to a halt with health care-related bureaucratic regulations and paperwork.

Already doctors who refuse to accept medical insurance are able to offer health care at a lower price.

That won't stand, of course. Those doctors will either become hourly employees of the US feral government, or they will be shipped to the gulags.

WHEN are we going to MARCH ON DC????

That's what Ubama wants.

If 5-million people show up on the mall he will have his excuse to declare martial law, right after he hits the Internet "off" switch so he's free to dispose of them without any witnesses.

It IS getting to the point of armed insurrection.

Every time I hear a talk radio host say “we aren’t at that point yet” I want to ask, then when?

Are you worried more about a permit or your freedom?
