IRS requests $119 million to enforce health care rules
21 State Lawsuit ^

Posted on 02/16/2011 1:51:09 PM PST by The Doctor

So on top of the news that the IRS is seeking to hire 16,500 new employees to enforce the new rules of the health care law, the agency has now announced that they are seeking $119 million to finance not only this hiring, but the enforcement of the new rules.

Included in this request is the funding to enforce the 1099 rule, which may be obsolete once Congress gets through with it. However, there are many other charges, such as $23 million to help taxpayers understand the new law, and $11.5 million to implement the tanning tax, for government officials entrusted with the federal purse strings, to worry about.

Smash it.
Rip it out by the roots.

Pour hot oil down on it.

Illegal enforcement of an unconstitutional law will just piss off a LOT of Americans.

Being an IRS agent will immediately jump up as the most likely employment position of possible on the job injuries in America.

They could not pay me $1,000,000 a week to be an IRS enforcer.

If only the States would go back to the judge for a contempt ruling and stop implementation.

Why in the world would those GOP deficit hawks spend millions in money the US does not have on an UNCONSTITUTIONAL HellCare Bill? Not one nickel should be funded, no matter what “untouchable” funding Nancy Pelosi hid in the 2,700 pages of this government power grab. She ought to be heading for jail for abusing her position in the last session of Congress.

Greeeat. That’s 16K new mouths breastfeeding from the private sector taxpayers.

When it gets to the point that so many are taking from the system that it just collapses in on itself... its going to be
real fun to watch the chaos that will ensue.

Ever see the movie “The Postman”? That’s where we are heading.

The Feds can’t be bothered with a trivial ruling by a mere lower Federal Court. Silly.

Question if I may Doc?
IF a “fair tax” were a done deal,
Would we needs as big an I.R.(freaken)S. ?
I have no idea how one would affect the other?

$23 million to help taxpayers understand the new law

How about making our congress critters understand it. Before they vote on it.

$11.5 million to implement the tanning tax

How does that compare to how much do they expect to collect?
If a tax can't even pay for itself, why is it there?
(Never mind the other reasons it should not be.)

Since they'll be fielding fewer questions about the last set of changes, why don't we either fire the people they took on to explain those changes; or train them to explain the new changes and save the $23 mil.

While at it, why does not the House defund payment for ink, labor, and the special paper to print money?

Real money is not in our stock market the new money in the market is Bozo bucks produced without legal controls!

With that, where is the money really going to go? It is government requests like this that puts tax dollars in a position to get stolen.
