You are joking right? You forgot the /s tag.
Our forefathers went to war against George III who is a piker compared to Barack the First.
Plus, the B and C forms are only in draft form. Electronic submission is required but IRS has not even published draft specs. We are to collect data to comply, effective now, but no one knows for sure what data will end up being required. This is a law designed and implemented by people who never ran so much as a news stand.
IMHO Obamacare is proof that the America I was born into is dead. My premiums have gone up fifteen percent every year since Obamacare was forced down our throat 4 years ago. I’ve told people that if God Himself came back as a Democrat (not that He would), they would find in a half hour Satan’s bumper sticker on my car. I’ll give the Dems credit for one thing, I’ve never donated more money and time to elections than I have the last 4 years.
One of the more interesting benefits of the FairTax is that, since it eliminates the IRS, it would also force a new debate on O[phony]bamacare.
Given all the negatives, FairTax will kill O[phony]bamacare, and that is just fine with me!
Clause 1 of Section 7 of Article I says simply, raising revenue. So no matter what activist justices and the “transparent” Obama Administration want to call Obamacare to try to deceive taxpayers, call it a tax, a fee or a penalty, it remains that they are all constitutionally indefensible sources of federal government revenue where intrastate healthcare is concerned imo.
I should have done a little more scratching before I posted earlier. The Constitution uses terms “raising revenue” and “appropriations” where taxes (fees, penalties, etc.) are concerned.
Granted, even under today’s loose Federal jurisprudence.
It would make sense for someone to challenge that tax as being unconstitutional.
But before that can happen, somebody has to be charged the tax.
Barack doesn’t want that kind of court case and neither, apparently, do a lot of Republicans (for different reasons). Maybe Congress will pass a bill excusing people from the tax and actually get Barack to sign it.
New tagline ...
Well, Tom,
I’M MAD AS HELL AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!
After all, by unconstitutionally delegating federal legislative / regulatory powers to the IRS, corrupt Congress is wrongly protecting federal legislative powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of Section’s 1-3 mentioned above imo.
Next, the Constitution-ignoring bureaucrats running the IRS are also evidently ignoring that, despite what FDR’s activist justices wanted everybody to believe about the scope of Commerce Clause powers when it wrongly decided Wickard v. Filburn in corrupt Congress’s favor in 1942, that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate either intrastate commerce or intrastate healthcare.
In fact the Supreme Court has historically clarified, in a single statement nonetheless, that that Congress has neither the power to regulate intrastate healthcare or intrastate commerce.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
And since the length of the work week and the size of a company’s work force are reasonably aspects of 10th Amendment-protected intrastate commerce, why is the IRS promoting Obamacare at the cost of ignoring the Constitution by making policy concerning these issues?
Another Constitution-related Supreme Court clarification that IRS needs to wise up to is that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues, healthcare a state power issue.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Obamacare needs to be burned down by any means necessary and hanged around the neck of Hillary Clinton.
Portion of the fair tax monthly stipend could be used for a health savings account
Given that ALL savings (and interest earned thereon) are tax FRee under FairTax, a personal HSA becomes very doable and very affordable.
I am instinctively opposed to any forced savings plan. I believe that somehow, someway, Americans must begin to assume responsibility for themselves and their families, and wrest control away FRom the heavy hand of government.
since all will receive a repay of a certain level of taxation,
the implementation of such an account would hedge against non insured entities...
i too am an advocate of personal responsibility, but for those who scream “take care of me” this is a factor that may sway them to the side of the fair tax.
alas, i feel boehner and crew will not advocate for such a system.
Somehow, someway, we’ll have to convince them that they are FAR, FAR better off with the government out of their lives.
It is an education process that MUST be undertaken!
I share your pessimism re: Boehner and crew. All we can do is keep pressing the FairTax.
Thanks for your support!
