Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) received a handwritten note Thursday from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance.
Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote on JCT letterhead. He signed it "Sincerely, Thomas A. Barthold." Exception: See 11th hour mark up before final vote: remove period in 7203 sec. x line xx: add: except for illegal aliens or people without documentation. |

this, and the state mandating you have car insurance, must be real nice for the insurance companies.....this qualify as protectionism ya think? It is all about state owning you and your kids body. The money for big business is a bonus to get there support. The state will be able to dictate under penalty of armed goones for the good of the many what you do and what put into your body. By hook or crook this will pass just to good for big brother to not pass. Add the patriot act with todays tech and you have a dictators wet dream...complete control of the slave class by the elite. |

So, the Health Care stuff is going to be handled/enforced by the IRS? Best to have the illegal, backwards, fucked up shit be handled by the most illegal unconstitutional government agency there is. In Before Dave_A quotes Romans 13, and tells us to support the elected representatives. Romans Chapter 13, verses 1 through 7, from the Authorized King James text: "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor." I prefer Exodus 22:18 myself (original meaning): "Suffer not an oathbreaker to live." Looks like we've got 534 of them in Congress alone. Hmmm, we're gonna need more rope... |

Uninsured Will Go to Jail for Year or pay $25,000 fine. Another term for tax to pay for the health care "reform."

I think I'm going to need more than a hand written note... Sen Ensign on the Sunday morning talk show circuit discussing this note would do it for me. |

yeah, im not paying the fine or going to jail. period. and i'll post a picture of the fine if this ends up passing and i get a fine you heard it here first. |

Quoted: Does the Federal Government have the Constitutional authority to charge fees on being a citizen? Not income tax. I don't have to pay that if I don't work. This health care fee is due for everyone. What if I don't pay it for my kids? Will they go to jail as well? How does that work? A 16 year old is required to file taxes if they work, and can probably get busted for tax evasion (I don't know?). Can they get busted for not paying their healthcare fee? They have the authority, under the power to tax. However, it (a tax on everyone who does not buy health insurance) would be a direct tax, and subject to apportionment among the states (eg, they couldn't keep the $$$)... |

There is nothing illegal or unconstitutional about the IRS in it's current form..... By way of the 16th Ammendment, the IRS is one of the most constitutional things the Feds do today - it's not a 'commerce clause' stretch, it's an enumerated power... WITH THAT SAID A $1900 'fee-tax' is a DIRECT tax that is NOT an income tax... So the 16th does not apply, and it would have to be apportioned to the states... not sure if serious... |

Not sure which is appropriate. or or or try I will not be taxed on existing as an American. Fuck you, and fuck your Citizenry Tax. The real question is- What are you going to do about it? Obama's not worried about that animated icon. Probably not enough. The people of Massachusetts didn't revolt over their forced care and I doubt much of the rest of the nation will either. People will just take it because the majority will blindly follow instructions. For most, it will just be easier and cheaper to buy some shill of a medical plan than to fight back against a tax on being an American. |

The note doesn't constitute law, it merely cites current law on the penalties for not paying your income taxes. The fees in the Baucus bill are to be collected by the IRS when you file your income taxes each year. So, if you don't have insurance, the fee gets added to your taxes. |

Go ahead. Add the VAT tax too. Even with these, we are still doomed as the world decides to change reserve currencies and stop buying our unpayable debt (bond, bills, T-Notes). We have MANY taxes in our future, take it with a grin, if you can take it at all |

Sounds like a racket. "Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We *want* them broken. You'd better get it straight That it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against– then you'll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We're after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with." - - Ayn Rand, _Atlas Shrugged , Ch. III, "White Blackmail" |

This fee does not provide for the defense or welfare of the United States. Under what Constitutional authority? This is a fee that is charged solely based on being an American citizen. You cannot 'opt out'. You can opt out of all other taxes by not engaging in any activity that is taxed. You can not opt out of living, without giving up another Constitutional 'guarantee'. |
