Obama Administration to use health care law to increase tax enforcement

Most people understand that the IRS is likely to need thousands of new agents to enforce the Obama Administration’s new health insurance mandate – starting in 2014, you can either buy health insurance or the government will confiscate your tax refund, at least.

But hidden deep within the 2,000 plus page law is a vast new authority for the IRS that proponents admit has nothing at all to do with health care.

Instead, its purpose is to squeeze more and more tax dollars from businesses to eliminate the so-called “tax gap” – bureaucratese for every red cent Americans owe the IRS but don’t pay up come April 15.

BO and ALL of his policies need to be repealed ASAP!

Gee, I never saw this one coming! (do I need a sarc tag?)

[ilgipper]

Repeal BO.

The content of socialist Obamacare is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 does not specifically grant Congress the power to regulate health care. People are not bound to comply with an unconstitutional act of Congress. This is the point people need to understand and impress upon their Congress critters.

People can join a class action lawsuit against unconstitutional, socialist Obamacare at www.obamacareclassaction.com

Moreover people can oppose Obamacare in two other methods. Support passage of The Fair Tax Act(HR25/S296). It will replace all federal income taxes with a national sales tax, by imposing a tax only once at the point of sale and abolish the IRS! Fair Tax ping!

[Man50D]

The second method is the class action lawsuit.

I suppose that small businesses will just need to reduce all expenses below $600. A large expense can be divided into a number of smaller expenses.

The Democrat staffer claimed that Bush supported the same reporting requirements. I doubt that Bush supported the same reporting requirements. Even if he did, I would oppose this outrageous requirement.

This provision effectively forces businesses to replicate their records for the IRS. The IRS will effectively become employed as the company’s accountant.

Rather than forcing companies to submit large numbers of 1099s, I predict that the IRS will just vacuum bank records. The IRS will receive copies of all transactions above the threshold. The IRS will insist that taxpayer identification be attached to all transations above the threshold.

So what is new with our King, King Obama and his corrupt communists Administration? America has been taken over by criminals and will possibility never recover for many years.

From what I understand......it would cost me $2k per year in penalties to not have "gov. health care".

Well...what if millions of folks did that?

[Madistan]

That would work in year one. Year two, it might cost you $3K. Year three - well you know where this is going.

[Osage Orange]

$4k or $5K would be okay...at this point.

It's all depending....of course.
