Great news! Obama’s healthcare 1099 scheme will choke the IRS in a glut of paperwork

The Collins Report ^ | July 22, 2010 | Kevin “Coach” Collins

[jmaroneps37]

Anyone who has ever run a small business knows this a disaster on its way.

[EternalVigilance]

It’s hard me to view this as good news, when the victim, small business people, will also have been choked to death as well.

[mo]

send them ALL in...EVERY day...by snail mail.......

[Rational Thought]

I really believe the best way to protest this move is to be a “Patriotic American” and voluntarily provide 1099s for every dime spent.

[erkyl]

Where are the “Save the Trees!” people on this?

[hometoroost]

In the real world unintended consequences will often get you fired. In government it only results in more regulation, more hiring, and more spending.

[steelyourfaith]

I envision an avalanche of phony 1099 form submissions.

[keepitreal]

Our small business probably has 200+ vendors over $600. To have to issue that many 1099’s in January (one of our busiest months for doing REAL business) will be a significant burden.

[sodpoodle]

This just means that the Federal Government employment rolls will grow exponentially. They will be paid to plunder.

Consider how we will have access to medical treatment if the government health care redistributors have access to our medical records and voting habits.

There will be blue passes and red passes issued.
Blue *you’re due* and Red, *you’re dead*.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Why not?...He’s choking me already!

[Robert A Cook PE]

Is any democrat offeriing an explanation as to WHY this new paperwork is required?

(Several copier refills, paper, ... or ONE laptop, shipping box and storage set (to protect a piece of lab gear) exceeds 600.00.

ONE microscope or X-ray tube exceeds 600.00 dollars.

A single band saw, drill press or welder exceeds 600.00 dollars.

[Dem Guard]

It sounds like job creating piece work in a poop plant! ;-)

[theymakemesick]

I guess I'll have to send them to the 4 or 5 places i usually stop for fuel for my truck, the grocery store, Wally World, maybe a few of my favorite restaurants, the tire store, might be needing some suspension work which will probably be in excess of the $600, I'm really needing a new refrigerator and air conditioner for the house... On second thought, I'll just pass on all that stuff, might as well let the economy crater on 0bozo's watch.

How about if NO ONE submits this garbage to the IRS?

[Frenchtown Dan]

I am a small business owner, one employee - me. For every purchase I’m going to make that’s over 600 dollars, I’m going to either use multiple credit cards (if I can) or issue multiple checks, making a 600 + purchase look like multiple smaller purchases.

Of course this won’t work for Internet purchases, but I don’t buy much over the net.

I’m going to use every trick I can think of to avoid doing this. This is big gov’t running rabid, and I hope the IRS becomes so overwhelmed it implodes.

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Help me here folks, why do the wunderkinds want a paper trail on all purchases in excess of $600 per vendor? Even in my most demented moment, I cannot fathom what such a mass of information is supposed to achieve. The barter economy is looking a whole lot better every minute.

[not2worry]

It’s hard me to view this as good news, when the victim, small business people, will also have been choked to death as well.

I don’t see this as good news either. The large box stores will come up with a software cash register that will automatically issue you a 1099.

The small business will suffer, the tax payer will suffer due to additional paperwork and audit fees BUT the IRS will be able to hire more Government Workers.

[Fred Hayek]

Since I am incorporated as a small business, I fully intend to flood the system with frivolous 1099 even for personal purchases. Call it throwing a Cloward Piven at the Regime.

See tagline.

[Logical me]

King Obama doesn't give a shi!. His only communists Muslim agenda was to destroy America and become his first playboy dictator. And he is doing just that and remember his communists party (formally the Democratic Party) with some RINOs have sold America down too. And, add to that at lease 43% of Americans, voting illegals, and the voting dead want communism. And if King Obama is reelected in 2012, he will then throw them all under the bus and laugh at the fools like he laughs at us now. Party boy is having a ball.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You don't believe they actually plan on processing it, do you?

The medium (mindless, out-of-control, overreaching bureaucracy) is the message, as Marshall McLuhan said.

You guys are right...consider this from a former president:

"I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution." Ulysses S. Grant
