IRS: Employers Face $36,500 Per Worker Tax for ´Obamacare Dumping´
Breitbart´s Big Government, ^ | 5/27/14 | Wynton Hall

The Internal Revenue Service ruled it will impose a tax penalty on employers of up to $36,500 per worker for dumping employees into the Obamacare exchanges. The New York Times, which broke the story, reports: When employers provide coverage, their contributions, averaging more than $5,000 a year per employee, are not counted as taxable income to workers. But the Internal Revenue Service said employers could not meet their obligations under the health care law by simply reimbursing employees for some or all of their premium costs. The IRS ruling is an effort by the Obama administration to stop employers with 50 or

Pretty much. You have to go protest every year just to Ty to keep it managed. Almost everyone I know does the same thing. On top of that toll roads are the only choice and getting to be more so in Houston and Austin.

I sure hope this didn’t get by Rush over the weekend; he says he turns off the “news”...hopefully his staff has debriefed him.

Nope. Far less than that. I know people living in subdivisions in Katy in 400k houses who pay 12 to 14k in prop and
MUD tax and that is going up as well.

I have fed + CA + ID income tax on top of that. The
ID vs CA state income tax split depends on the amount
of hours working in each location. TX sounds less
attractive.

If America “had a dream” to live prosperous and free,
Then the dream must killed, and consumed you see.
The Obamavultures continue feasting, while Boehner sits still,
“Both” parties know our pain as required collateral damage to fulfill.

What word did our Doormat Republicans not understand,
When Obama was first crowned The Tyrant of the Land?
Was it “Fundamentally” or “Transform” or “The United States of America?”

Why are these confused Leader Doormat Republicans still kept in power?
Why haven’t our TEA Party House Members sent Boehner to the back bench?
What does it take be it Benghazi, NSA, IRS, DOJ, or Delay to Death of our Vets?
Who are the Patriot House Members of “both” Parties to vote out Boehner?

When do We, the People rise up and declare that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!?
When do our elected House Members stand and deliver?
When does the well-deserved Impeachment of Obama begin?
When do our House Constitutional Checks and Balances kick in?

Back in DC, things are as calm as can be,
Obama lies, frames, blames, denies and delays,
Allowing the Obamavultures to feast as before,
While Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Ryan, and Issa,
Hold open the race to the bottom door - - - -.

It is time, - - - - time a change in 2014.

Consultant only works with the IRS if you work for multiple
parties. IRS will shove the W2 on the employer/employee if you
only work for one company.

"How long before they MANDATE we have tests, vaccines or meds for prevention of diseases that come with age and poor diets?"

The "just take a pill and call me" model of medicine makes it a lot easier on doctors, but you are right. Many of these meds only makes things worse.

Exercise and diet control is the key to health (But don't tell the Socialists in control of our government -- OR ...

”The Internal Revenue Service ruled it will impose a tax [emphases added] penalty on employers of up to $36,500 per worker for dumping employees into the Obamacare exchanges.”
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

There are two major constitutional problems with the statement above from the referenced article imo. To begin with, the Founding States made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, to clarify the following. All federal legislative / regulatory powers are vested in the elected members of Congress; not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected federal bureaucrats like those running the IRS.

And by delegating such powers to the IRS, Congress is wrongly protecting federal legislative powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of the clauses referenced above. After all, elected lawmakers would likely never make such “ruling” concerning taxes in an election year.

Next, the only federal government entity that the Founding States delegated the constitutional authority to make laws / regulations to appropriate funds is the House of Representatives, such power evidenced by the Constitution’s Clause 1 of Section 7 of Article I. But regardless that House RINOs read the Constitution out loud at the beginnings of the 2011 and 2013 legislative sessions, they are unsurprisingly asleep at the wheel with respect to non-elected bureaucrats usurping their unique constitutional power to appropriate funds.

Hey, if Harry Reid's Senate can initiate constitutionally indefensible appropriations bills like he did for Obamacare Democratcare, then why can’t any federal agency join the party and make appropriations regulations? After all, activist justices aren’t going to care.
