Health Care To Be A “Vast Expanse Of Power” For IRS

The Hill:

House Ways and Means Republicans on Thursday assailed a provision in the proposed health care reform bill under consideration this week.

Subcommittee on Oversight ranking member Charles Boustany (R-La.) said the IRS provision in the bill “dangerously expands, in an ominous way the tentacles of the IRS and it’s reach into every American family,” he said today during a press conference.

“This is a vast expanse of power,” he said.

Boustany said the bill would allow the IRS to confiscate refunds if there are penalties for not buying health care.

Lawmakers have questioned whether the IRS can handle the increased workload to oversee, administer and collect penalties for people who don’t buy health insurance.

“This is increasing tax liability and tax scrutiny,” said Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Ill.).

Ranking member Dave Camp (R-Mich.) said many Americans have already rejected the call for health care reform for other reasons and an expansion of the IRS should only add to call to “kill the bill.”

Taxpayers could be required to buy insurance under President Barack Obama’s reform proposal by 2014 or face penalties of roughly $325 per individual that the IRS would collect.

Assuming it becomes law, the Congressional Budget Office expects the IRS will need roughly $10 billion over the next 10 years and nearly 17,000 new employees to meet its new responsibilities under health reform.

“We’re going to fight to the end to see that this does not pass,” Boustany said.

    No shit…didn’t see that coming. So when is the IRS going to replace the military? I mean they will need new BOOTS ON THE GROUND to collect and enforce the confiscation of our people, so take them (BOOTS) from our armed forces…… I mean, they are not protecting our country from domestic enemies (that’s obvious, just look at the news, pick a day, any day…) so why spend all of those tax dollars. If we get invaded by say, China, they may be little difference between their system and where this shit-stain president is going to take us into….. WRITING THIS POSTING IN FRUSTRATION MODE….. take it as an irony folks…. This Obongo needs to be stopped even if this bill fails……

      870s are no match for a 300 Win Mag 700 at say, 400-800 meters.

    I’m sure this is a first-round order once awarded will turn into a larger order not within public view. Sounds like the administration is having many other departments “arm-up” including the Department of Education.

    The IRS will become Obama’s Gestopo. SEIU will be his enforcers. Get ready for your beat-downs.
    The IRS has more power than you can imagine now. Obama will use them as his storm troopers with the FBI right behind them. :gun:

    Amazing…. GWB did nothing like this, yet he was hitler, and was leading us all to a tyrannical end, blah, blah, blah. This clown and his minions are blatantly doing all the things that GWB was accused of, and all we hear from our “watchdogs” in the media is….. crickets :roll: :???:

    Will the cops obey?
    will the military obey?
    Do they really want a US in ruins?
    If they pull it off they are only guaranteeing citizen terrorism.
    I grew up on a lake and when people started tossing each other off the dock, maybe you could push me in but I would take you with me.

    In the most crime ridden spot in the country, our nation’s capitol, District of Columbia Law 23- 582(b) reads as follows:
    (b) A private person may arrest another -
    (1) who he has probable cause to believe is committing in his presence -
    (A) a felony, or
    (B) an offense enumerated in section 23-581 (a)(2); or
    (2) in aid of a law enforcement officer or special policeman, or other person authorized by law to make an arrest.
    (c) Any person making an arrest pursuant to this section shall deliver the person arrested to a law enforcement officer without unreasonable delay. (July 29, 1970, 84 Stat. 630, Pub. L. 91-358, Title II, § 210(a); 1973 Ed., § 23-582; Apr. 30, 1988, D.C. Law 7-104, § 7(e), 35 DCR 147.)
    Civil lawsuits against department stores, police departments, and even cult deprogrammers for false imprisonment are legend. Anybody who makes a citizens arrest should not use more force than is necessary, should not delay in turning the suspect over to the proper authorities, and should never mete out any punishment … unless willing to face the consequences.
    As the ability of the powers that be to hold society together and preserve law and order diminishes, citizen’s arrests will undoubtedly be more common as a way to help communities cope with the wrongdoers in out midst.
    I’m no lawyer but, can you imagine a group of citizens walking up to Harry Reid and make a citizen’s arrest and hand cuffing the bitch and hand him over to the police? Talk about making a statement!
