PELOSI: Buy a $15,000 Policy or Go to Jail
http://republicans.waysandmeans.house.gov ^

Posted on 11/06/2009 4:04:23 PM PST by Typical_Whitey

Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.

In response to the JCT letter, Camp said: “This is the ultimate example of the Democrats’ command-and-control style of governing – buy what we tell you or go to jail. It is outrageous and it should be stopped immediately.”

Key excerpts from the JCT letter appear below:

“H.R. 3962 provides that an individual (or a husband and wife in the case of a joint return) who does not, at any time during the taxable year, maintain acceptable health insurance coverage for himself or herself and each of his or her qualifying children is subject to an additional tax.” [page 1]

“If the government determines that the taxpayer’s unpaid tax liability results from willful behavior, the following penalties could apply…” [page 2]

“Criminal penalties

NO.... THE QUESTION BELONGS RIGHT OUT IN FRONT OF THE MASSES! Which wine company buys Nancy’s grapes and what is the wine brand?

I never understood the terror and people traveling far and wide to see Marie Antoinette getting the guillotine. I now understand. I would definitely be in the crowd to watch Nancy’s head roll into the cabbage basket.

So, let's see...Social Security retiree, good health, very fixed income just makes expenses. If this person doesn't buy a policy (too old to get an inexpensive policy before, why would pelosi think it would be easy to do now?) they can't afford for services they don't use, they get fined more out of their pittance income. When that doesn't work, this elderly person is sent to jail?

Ok, I think I have it now.

Surely.....someone knows where the Pelosi family sells their grapes.... C’mon, there has to be a reader from the Silverado Trail..... Where do the grapes get fermented?

They get fermented in Pelosi's damn brain, of course.

I must be insane, but I’m extremely positive about our future. People have had enough...

But an illegal alien, who doesn't have a high school degree and gets paid in cash as a subcontractor, or operates their own cleaning or lawn service, who has no withholding for social security, Medicare, Medicaid, medical, or retirement, who doesn't even file a tax return, he shows up at an emergency room and still gets free medical care.

Is there some way citizens could gain illegal alien status by getting papers from a sympathetic government overseas?

So if I cannot afford coverage, I can go to jail and get health care for free?

Go To Jail because I WON’T PAY (And I’ll lead the Civil Disobedience protest against it)!

A Virginia patriot's honey-do list until Nov.2010:

Clean and ready our firearms collections.
Buy loads of ammo while its still available.
Purchase our Va imposed one-gun-a-month hardware.
Continue to badger our sorry legislators with our calls, letters and faxes.
Chose our friends wisely based on their loyalty and knowledge of our Constitution.

$15,000? That is almost half of our yearly income. Yes we live very frugally!

$15,000.00 a year? She’s certifiable! A varicose existing condition!

How Maoist of her.

Tow the line or off to a reeducation camp for you!

Hey, that's an insult to Mao Tse-tung. With our government losing control of our borders and national parks, opportunities open up while State legitimacy decays. What would Mao, or indeed the first Ming Emperor do? Or even the mid 19th century Tai-Ping?
