"I guess Mitt Romney is okay with this.”

I’m guessing, but I think he’ll blame the Mass legislature for messing up his “free market” plan.

If Mitt Romney can not keep the Mass Legislature from passing such garbage, how can we hope that he can keep the Democrats in congress from grabbing an American citizen's property like that, or in any other weird backhanded way lobbyist, (some international, say - a tax for the UN), might propose?

And one can wonder - if they can't confiscate the fines from a person's income - when they don't have a pay check in the first place - say someone who is self-employed, for an example - will they than start accruing interest penalties, like the IRS now imposes - which can be at a rate of 100% per day...

I know a case of a self-employed business man that was driven out of business due to some illegal machinations of a big wig who ran the department for the mega-business this businessman was doing business with - the big wig thought how nice it would be if HE had the business himself, and systematically put all the separate small business owners out of business.

This small business owner got a notice for the IRS that he owed $86,000 and needed to pay within the week to avoid the 100% penalty.

He went to town and gave them a check for $86,000 - making one small mistake: he didn't write on the check "paid in full"} = and the next week, he got another bill for $86,000. When he called to say he had paid, they said, Oh, they put that on the penalty fee and he still owed the 86K...

He had no more money - it keeps 'accruing' and is now over half a million. Where in the name of the Constitution, can that be legal? (His case is/has been multiplied by the thousands across this country. The IRS is nothing more than the Gestapo/KGB arm of the gov't )

So it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine that this scenario will be mushroomed with this cockamamie Communist Plan.

The Commie mind-set (and we need to remember that Joe Lieberman was the last Democrat standing in Washington when he left the party - they are all hard-core, card carrying Socialists).

These people actually believe that they have the right to rule every aspect of our lives.

Time for a tea party - and an abolishment of the IRS - Bring on the FAIR TAX. It will clip the wings in DC big time.

I only meant that our elected thieves don’t pay for it themselves.

Like almost everything elected theives get it’s paid for by the voters who put them in office.

They decide what they want, cost is no object
