The Insiders: New Obamacare marketing –‘Sign up and shut up or the IRS will be calling’
Washington Post ^ | 11/21/13 | Ed Rogers

Posted on 11/22/2013 3:35:12 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

... The Democrats' sappy pleas that they understand they have to win back consumers by "fixing" what's wrong with Obamacare are bogus. Consumers don't have a choice. Americans won't be using the Obamacare exchanges because they find the Obamacare branding and marketing pitches informative and appealing, they will use the exchanges because if they don't, Obama’s IRS will fine them. The gentle appeals that we will be hearing as a result of all the “rebranding” and “remarketing” are just cynical, doe-eyed scams. The truth is, if you don’t sign up for Obamacare, the IRS is coming after you. Now that’s effective marketing. And the White House knows it......

... The White House plan to “rebrand” Obamacare is simple. The new plan is to make certain that the president, Administration officials, Democrats everywhere and apologists in the media never, ever, ever use the word “Obamacare” again. I personally refuse to conform to the new guidance. Obamacare is now a word with its own meaning, and the negative image it conjures up is here to stay. "Obamacare" is more synonymous with “Hindenburg” than it is with “Apollo.”

I am pretty sure the penalty will end up being loaded into your federal taxes due and there will be no escape

Look at how thoroughly the IRS has become expanded, politicized and co-opted as a tool (or weapon) by the Obama administration

When is this going to STOP?

Everything is three things more horrific than the last. And those worthless cowards in the GOP are MIA.

I posted this on another thread a few minutes ago.

“I agree with you, but I also think the GOPe guys got a shiv stuck to them yesterday. Their whole sales pitch with “walk across the aisle” crap was demolished with the Senate vote yesterday.”

Those little emperors have no more clothes.

Maybe Obama will morph into President Snow from The Hunger Games. The mailed fist will come out and the Reaping will begin.

If we can tie the idea of Obama and President Snow of the Hunger Games together in the minds of teens/college/young adults, they might FINALLY get the idea that:

********** SOCIALISM = TYRANNY!!!! *************

Most of that generation are not going to read Hayek or Bastiat, but maybe the truth will seep in via a hard dose of reality + connections in pop culture.

Although, now that millions are giving up their personal identification to the Democrat party via enrolling in Obamacare, we may never get another chance to vote the tyrants out. Enroll America, Sibelius Group, agrees to help obtain a private list of potential Obamacare enrollee data for election/political purposes.

And if war comes - we know whose side they’ve been on for the last 60 years.

HUACa - Hussein's Un-Affordable Care act.

The House Committee On Un-American Activities wasn't actually called "HUAC" either.

"Obamacare" is more synonymous with “Hindenburg” than it is with “Apollo.”

Internal motivational posters at NASA and contracting firms in the 1960s said "Apollo will be judged on its accomplishments, not it's intentions."

This current bunch in power p!ssed it all away.

“so really what will happen to the middle class?”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Not much because it has very nearly ceased to exist already and the few remaining members will either find a way into the elite clique or become lower class, there is no middle class in a totalitarion society. There will be the ruling class and the peasantry, there will be an upper lower class and a lower lower class but no middle class at all.

... what will happen to the middle class?

Oh, don't worry. There is a plan already in existence to "take care" of them.

They will be called bourgeoisie, petty bourgeoisie, kulaks, wreckers, and hooligans - and we know how well that ended up for them the last time.
