You know it's bad when the NY Times is talking about taxes going up because to them Obama walks on Water while he orders Drone strikes that kill innocent children.

We went to H&R Block and had our taxes done last week. All the preparers were talking about how they expect a lot of upset people next year when the Obamacare TAX kicks in .. and all the people who think they are getting free health care will instead get hit with tax penalties because they didnt' go out and buy the product (health care) mandated by Obama.
Expect lots and lots of ticked off people next Feb-Apr when they go to do their taxes.

The current administration knows a storm is brewing over this issue. The only way to fix the problems with it is to send it to the House to overhaul it. They know it would be completely gutted if they do that. So their only course of action is to lie. This however leaves the Senate majority up for grabs next election cycle. It is a catch 22 situation. Expect lies in abundance over the next 2 years.

Us too, when we were finished the man said I am ordered to tell you that you will be fined in 2014 if you don't have healthcare, I knew that, but my husband still doesn't believe it.
I found one site on the issue, it said lie, that they don't have the resources to investigate, it also said, it was totally illegal and the fed was worried about the repercussions of fining peoples tax refunds.
Due to expected confusion in the early years of the program, more people may face penalties. But it's unclear what will happen if they don't pay them. The ACA forbids the IRS from aggressive efforts to collect the penalty from people who don't pay. The biggest stick the agency may have is to withhold tax refunds from those who owe penalties.
Insurers are required to send out notices of health coverage that will, over time, become as routine as a taxpayer's W-2 statement of taxable wages. The 2014 notices are due to consumers and the IRS by Jan. 30, 2015. But this process may experience its own learning curve, and few people are predicting that a flawless reporting system will be in place right away.
The Penalties
The actual individual mandate penalties under the ACA are perhaps the easiest part of the program to understand:
In 2014, the annual penalty will be $95 per adult and $47.50 per child, up to a family maximum of $285 or 1 percent of family income, whichever is greater.
In 2015, the penalty will be $325 per adult and $162.50 per child, up to a family maximum of $975 or 2 percent of family income, whichever is greater.
In 2016, the penalty will be $695 per adult and $347.50 per child, up to a family maximum of $2,085 or 2.5 percent of family income, whichever is greater.
"Most people think of it as an annual penalty," notes Larry Levitt, a senior vice president at Kaiser. "But it is in fact a monthly thing, and you would pay a penalty for any month that you are uncovered."

People do have options, if they stick together and refuse to pay.

There is no options. Most people do not understand the capabilities. You cannot hide, you cannot fight face to face with the US government. Our government has the capability to kill people in other countries without even asking to cross the border, they can kill us citizens in other countries and call it legal and constitutional, they can hold anybody here based on the title they give you, they have more gear and equipment than you could possible stand up to, your best bet is to run, keep running, and keep hiding.
They bible tells you everything that will happen, people will turn on each other, brother agaisnt brother, father against children, mother against father, etc. neighbors will turn each other in, they have already started a hotline for this a few years ago, the structure is being put into place to enslave our country and reduce our liberties to nothing. Why did this happen? Because politicians are corrupt, the rich want agenda 21 and utopia, and you mean nothing to them. On top of that, 40 years of garbage education reduced our population to morons.

You do know that this requires the entire military and police to pull off right? And Alot of them would not do this according to polling over the years.The ones who follow their oaths of office and uphold the constitution outnumber the morons who follow the say so of their uncle sam with no question. ANd why are you quoting the bible? it was not just in revelation that that just happens. Its human nature to betray others when you are motivated by greed,or any other of the deadly sins.
Of course you will dismiss this all as a un educated opinion because its easier to stereotype than it is to read and understand now a days but Its your right to.

what the hell is wrong with people. if you get a coupon for a dollar off a 3 dollar burger, you get a burger for 2 bucks and eat happily...
you don't then expect forever the burger will be 2 bucks...get over it you morons..see, this is the entitlement bs people claim...give a quick stimulus injection and suddenly you want it forever.
Hense why the entitlement party (the republicans) have been demanding the bush stimulus tax cuts are made permanent.
(see what I did there?)
So no, in this regard, Obama didn't lie...people are just not paying attention.edit on 9-2-2013 by SaturnFX because: (no reason given)

The Healthcare Bill started in the Senate. Since SCOTUS ruled it a tax, it should have started in the House. This makes it unconstitutional in my mind. Why is it not being revisited by SCOTUS on those grounds?
