9,000 more tax goons ... and how many doctors are they going to crank out to treat all those new patients ... or, is Obamacare only about mugging people as critics have repeatedly charged?

As millions of Americans brace for tax season, the Internal Revenue Service is requesting a $2 billion boost to its budget and 9,000 new employees as it prepares to enforce Obamacare’s tax provisions.
President Obama released his $4 trillion budget proposal for fiscal year 2016 this week, which includes $13.9 billion for the Internal Revenue Service. The agency asked Congress for close to $2 billion more for operations than last year—a 16 percent increase.
The billions of dollars will help the agency bolster its staff by adding more than 9,280 full-time employees. The proposed jump in employment at the IRS is an 11 percent increase from 2015.
To enforce the 46 new tax provisions of the Affordable Care Act specifically, the IRS asked for $67 million. That will cover 483 new employees related to Obamacare’s implementation.
“As the tax law changes, the IRS must implement programs to ensure that taxpayers understand the new laws, and that the IRS can address noncompliance,” the agency’s budget proposal states.
In addition, the agency requested $301.5 million to hire close to 3,000 additional staff to assist taxpayers calling into the agency with questions. The IRS said it needs to staff to address the “increased demand” for assistance resulting from Obamacare’s implementation and managing taxpayer submissions relating to the health care law.
Though Obamacare went into effect in October 2013, this tax filing season is the first in which consumers are required to report whether they had health insurance in 2014. Those who did not have coverage—close to 6 million Americans, according to the government’s own projections—are required to pay a penalty of either $95 or 1 percent of their income.

Agent Smith duplicating himself - again.
"The best thing about being me... There are so many 'me's."
Somebody's gotta post a picture of Agent Smith and his duplicates. The Architect is none other than Obama.
Who's going to play Neo and stop this virus? Too many Agent Smiths and Architects in D.C. - the virus has taken over D.C. I think Neo is going to have to be the states that choose to do battle with the Architect and the Agent Smiths.
ENFOCE???? really???? don’t think so.....
Sure go ahead, make it hurt... badly. Then maybe people will get on board with defunding the alphabet soup of executive agencies. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, NOW.

Some good “trickle down” business for manufacturers of brown shirts.
Perpetuating a mess that’s already way past budget & getting worse while at the same time accomplishing little or nothing except making life difficult? Common sense would suggest getting rid of this Obama monstrosity;not increasing the misery factor.
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance”
Agent Smith: That went as expected...
Agent Smith Clone: Yes.
Agent Smith: It’s all happening exactly as before...
Agent Smith Clone: Well, not exactly...
[Agent Smith Clone smiles]
Agent Smith: [echoing] It is inevitable.

There are only two possible outcomes from this. And I have no faith that the American people will do the one that *isn’t* capitulation.
Here comes obama’s promised public army.
The problem is the name. It needs to be changed now that it’s the strong arm of the government enforcing the massive transfer of money from those who earn it to those who vote democrat.
I suggest KGB or Stasi.
“...If you like your tax audit, you can keep your tax audit...”
The fact that 9,000 people new IRS workers need to be hired to enforce this BS is testimony to what a disaster it is.
CWII Spark Ping — What happens when the taxman disappears?
Hmm… Stasi's Mom.
Why do they need extra people. They can only collect fines if you get a refund. Always make sure to not get a refund.
What does “CWII Spark” mean?
