Yes, not hard to do . . . just withhold significantly less, set the difference aside in a savings account for paying taxes in April, but be sure to do it every year, permanently.

Of course if they have nothing to satisfy the penalty or even if they do, everyone is now a “law breaker”

When the laws and regulations are made so complex and intrusive that it is impossible to avoid being a law breaker, then the full force of government can be brought to bear against everyone.

Yes, we seized that Law Breaker’s 401k or bank account, they failed to _________________.

Regulatory conviction is much simpler than felony conviction. We all become constant offendors able to be tapped or taken by functionaries of the Big Government and the ready answer is: They were a Law Breaker.

A key question - how many people will elect to pay the penalty rather than get insured and how much tax revenue does that represent. Many people focus on fact the tax is less than insurance but ignore where the money is going - into the belly of the beast.

If we are to have a crap system like this then the tax penalties should go to the insurance companies not the US govt. The whole thing is just a money grab.

“The last real source of money accessible to the government are peoples’ retirement funds and bank accounts. Can you say Argentina? Greece? Spain? Get ready for the ride. As daddy always said, “Be careful what you wish for, you may get it.”

That will be the “There Will Be Blood” moment when people say FK you and use some of that lead they have stockpiled over the last 6 years !What do they have to lose ?

2) Eliminate automatic withholding - everyone writes a check for state tax, fed tax, fica, medicare, every month.

Or even better, having to pay the EBT charges racked up by the bling queen in front of them in the grocery line.
