IRS looking to hire thousands of armed tax agents to enforce health care laws

Top IRS officials have been working with Democrats on Capitol Hill to determine how the agency will enforce President Obama’s new health care law. Republican lawmakers estimate the legislation will require the hiring of many thousands of new tax enforcement agents.

While it’s still not known exactly how many will be hired, here’s what’s clear: Under the new law, the IRS is required to fine taxpayers thousands of dollars if they do not purchase health insurance. In order for the government to enforce compliance, tax authorities will need information, for the first time, about people’s health care. Collecting that data will require more IRS personnel.

Consider what has happened in Massachusetts, which passed a similar health care bill in 2006. To enforce the individual mandate, the state’s Department of Revenue asks filers what kind of insurance they have, as well as details like whether their “sincerely held religious beliefs” are moving them to petition for an exemption from the requirement.

May the death cries of every patriot or soldier that ever fought and died for this nation’s freedom ring screaming in their nightmares every evening if this is what it’s come to.

Live Free or Die.

Hey satan, I like my quote better (59). Sorry, Mao.

Did I just reply to satan?

"Under the new law, the IRS is required to fine taxpayers thousands of dollars if they do not purchase health insurance."

That's lacking in effect. Make it millions--to fine taxpayers millions of dollars. And the tax agents will be armed with flame throwers.

The first step is thinking in terms of "I" and not "we."

The IRS is the new KGB. Expect Obama’s agents to haul you down to the basement and beat you with a phone book.

Nothing would bring a smile to my face than having the 82nd ABN DIV. 1/508th BN parachuting in on 16,000 IRS agents harassing American citizens!!!!!

We would teach them how to bend slightly at the knees, about 30 degrees, and kills their a$$es good bye!!

Stay safe until we are home again, then we will start training American warriors for the coming revolution!

God bless my fellow American, Always!!!!!!

Ever read Vince Flynn’s book “Term Limits”?

[Mengerian]

I have not. If it's FReeper recommended, I'll put it on my “must read” list.

Thanks!

[Schwaeky]

Some .40 caliber term limits would be nice right now...

[cranked]

Armed? lulz, like wth!
Hell, they would be better off just hiring Acorn and SEIU thugs....opps, someone mention that Acorn is closing their shops? =.=

[bayareablues]

Armed?

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

I am not serving in the US military to sit back and watch as my fellow Americans are placed in chains and oppressed by this tyrannical government!!

Why the hell was this original comment removed???

Wouldn't it be interesting if the entire military quit in protest?

What would be really interesting is if there is any civil unrest and the military is called upon to point their guns at hard-working patriotic American citizens...
