File this under 'you never thought it would happen in America.'
The Senate healthcare bill that is scheduled to be 'deemed as passed' by the House of Representatives Sunday afternoon, H.R. 3590, mandates the Internel Revenue Service as the enforcement arm of Barack Obama's dictate that all Americans be covered by health insurance.
The IRS will be empowered to check every month to ensure that every American meets Obama's dictated health insurance standards.
The IRS is also empowered to levy fines on those not in compliance. Under existing federal law, refusal to follow the rules of the IRS can lead to imprisonment--or worse.
An analysis released yesterday by Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee estimates that 16,500 IRS agents will need to be hired to meet the expanded authority granted the IRS.
The nine page .PDF document details how the IRS will become the new overlord of the American people. A new section of the IRS code, 5000A, would be created by the bill. Americans would be required to maintain insurance deemed acceptable by the secretaries of the Treasury and Health and Human Services. Failure to do so would result in enforcement fines levied by the IRS in the hundreds or thousands of dollars depending on the income of the offender. The fines would be known as the Indivdiual Mandate Tax. The report adds that the IRS could add interest and penalties for failure to pay the IMT.
Health insurance providers would be required to file reports with the IRS on each individual they insure. The IRS would be able to share confidential taxpayer information with Health and Human Services.
According to the report, exemptions to the IMT dictate would be granted by Obama to approved groups and individuals for the following reasons: religious conscience, members of a health care sharing ministry, those below the poverty line, members of Indian tribes, incarcerated individuals and illegal aliens.
Under this bill, every American would be forced to answer to Barack Obama. If they fail to submit to his will, they will be fined, imprisoned or worse.

I can’t verify anything because I have no sources myself. I do know the people moving are far from stupid and are emotionally stable people. They are truly very afraid - enough to pick up and move out of the U.S. (Read through one of the articles from your links and it seems to support the notion of camps.)
Could this be Obamas civilian defence force???
“Federal Reserve Must Disclose Bank Bailout Records”
Good news...we will know who took the tarp money!
This money does not belong to the Federal Reserve,” Sanders said in a statement. “It belongs to the American people, and the American people have a right to know where more than $2 trillion of their money has gone.”

I hate to agree with you but the FBI got what it deserved..
If the (illegitimate) federal government maintains the path that it is now on there will be a violent backlash. Too many people have been angry for too long. How far this "backlash" continues will be anyone's guess. When average law abiding Americans are fined and jailed for not having the Obama/Democrat Party "health insurance" or when their medical needs are ignored or not met by the Obama/Democrat Party medical bureaucratic monster that will be created, when minority and favored political groups are given preferential treatment ahead of the majority of taxpaying, suffering Americans, then the war will start in earnest.
“Everything this Kenyan Usurper has done has been an overt attack on America and her deeply-held values. Somehow, I think Civil Unrest serves his purposes.
Or, he is an incredibly stupid and incompetent idiot.”
Try, “All of the above”. No “or” about it!;)
Since the Pubbies are outraged and seem to be finding their backbones, it’s time.
It’s time for the Pubbies to commence naming names and reporting to the public EVERY CRIMINAL ACT COMMITTED BY THE DEMOCRATS. EVERY crooked deal, every inside deal, every lie, every marital infidelity, every pay-off!
Lay down the gauntlet! Take on the ba$tards via frontal assault! Wouldn’t that be a wonderous thing to watch? My fantasy is to sit for hours - watching the bloodbath on C-Span while the Rats churn in the wind!!
Pubbies, this is WAR and if you’re too timid to take it to them, step aside. We won’t be bothered to re-elect you in the future.
Put my ass in prison - I will NOT comply to socialism or a single unconstitutional bill.
Speak for yourself, my friend. I’ve been at this since 1960 and joined FR 12 years ago.
Welcome to the club, Newbie.
Is this a ‘modern Gestapo’ ping?
Sort of. I think homeschoolers are always in the government’s sights.
Anything that the government does that can have an effect on homeschoolers is worth knowing about.
PT&B (payroll taxes and benefits) were 150% of base pay when I was a manager way back when. And that did not include cost of cubicle space. So re-caculate.
seems they are going to need it.
I was being ironic ... the fact that we still have a second amendment means that the IRS (and other government agencies) NEED guns for “self protection”.
“If folks cannot see that our main political priority is SHRINKING the size of government over the next decade....then we truly don’t deserve our freedom”
when government is broke, it should be shrinking instead of expanding. I know my state is shrinking services much to the delight of many and the dismay of many as well.
The Feds can’t grasp the concept of shrinking when they don’t have their own money to play with.
Yes, I agree.
Agreed.
That becomes a lot less likely when the IRS has armed agents of their own.
