Time to change my witholding!

What’s the over/under on a date for when he implements mandatory payroll deduction for health care?

My first reaction was AFTER November, to get past the elections... but he might just pull it off before if =he is worried he will not have congress.

That is too funny, however IMO it's foolish NOT to owe money at tax time anyway.

After all the U.S. government will not pay you for keeping your hard earned labor throughout the year.

47% don’t owe Income Tax. You think most of them will have health insurance? So what will it matter?

Any federal version of health care is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 does not specifically grant Congress the power to regulate health care! The people are not bound by any unconstitutional act of Congress! People need to continually remind their Congress critters of that fact!

Talk about nannyism. You have too good insurance - penalized. Too little - penalized.

We’ll decide what’s just right for you.- BHO & Comrades

Isn’t this a fairytale?

Most people who don’t have health insurance don’t get income tax refunds...because they don’t have jobs and don’t work or they work in the underground economy. Soon this Administration will be as hated by the very poor as they are by the middle class and the wealthy. Amazing.

This does go to the recent statement (I forget who, but I heard it on Beck or Rush) that the IRS’s job is not as a tax collector, but as an agency to ensure you get your refund. Shrugs all around, but I think that was semi-prophetic.

This is the clown who was yelling loudly about “Who do you think you are?!”, if anyone remembers this.

LOL! This sounds like a great way to get everybody to adjust their W-9s and reduce their "withholding" to the point where they OWE taxes rather than have to file for a refund of what they overpaid in the first place. (Ahem, this is what smarter people do anyway.) The effect of this is that the treasury will end up holding less money all year from which they can derive "free" interest earnings...

What is adequate healthcare?

Answer:

"Adequate healthcare" is what you may have under Obamacare once you buy your "supplemental plan", the way an elderly person with Medicare currently needs to buy a "supplemental plan". Of course, under Obamacare your "supplemental plan" (whatever it is, it doesn't matter) will be categorized as a "Cadillac" plan and you will need to pay hefty taxes for having it.

I hope this answers your question.

FRegards,
LH

Why all the talk about the IRS? The healthcare/takeover law is first going to be de-funded and then when Obama is out of office it will be repealed. Unless the Court rules on it first and finds it to be unconstitutional.

Well, to stir the pot, states could seize federal receipts.
