During the debate over ObamaCare, Democrats insisted they had to pass the bill so we could find out what was in it, and the more we learned about socialized medicine the more we would love it. Today, we found out one of the glorious items waiting in store for us. The IRS is requesting $119 million to implement new taxes the law demands. This does not mean the taxes total $119 million; it means the IRS is asking for $119 million to hire enough agents to collect them.
The Treasury Department, which obviously did not get the memo that this health care “reform” does not raise taxes, stated:
Implementation of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 presents a major challenge to the IRS. ACA represents the largest set of tax law changes in more than 20 years, with more than 40 provisions that amend the tax laws. Although the new law goes into effect gradually over many years, many provisions required immediate action. (Emphasis added.)
The IRS wants another $23 million to teach the public about these changes. The agency will spend $11.5 million just to implement the tanning tax — which, of course, is not racist at all.
Last month, Democrats rejoiced at CBO assertions that repealing ObamaCare would add $230 billion to the federal deficit. Leaving aside the fact that the estimate is nonsensical, eliminating this IRS expense alone would save more than half of that amount.
Since all appropriations bills must originate in the House of Representatives, which is controlled by Republicans, the House should not allocate one penny for the IRS to enforce a bill the American people want repealed. Until the law is struck down by the Supreme Court or repealed by Congress, our representatives should refuse to fund its enforcement. By 2014, the bill should be a dead letter. If it isn’t, the Republican Congress will be.

I think we need to fire all of them and start over. I don’t believe that anyone who is a member of the socialist party should be allowed to serve in the government of the United States anyway!!!! That law alone would do away with about all of the demoduffeses!!!
Furthermore, I believe that all of the poloticians that were involved in the pilfering of the seven trillion dollars out of the Social Security fund should have there pensions taken away and that money put back into the fund!!! All of the political figure should have the same health care that the American people do!!! It says so in the constitution!!!
Anyone on my ballot that does not vote to repeal Obamacare or to cap the federal debt , or anyone who votes to add or increase any tax for any purpose will lose my vote and I can gaurantee at least five others who think like I do . As far as shutting down the government , we can keep it going by shutting down the house of representatives , the senate , and the white house administration , and the longer the better , the American peoples health , wealth , and property are safe only when these functionaries and their minions are not functioning .
Do they get paid when the government shuts down? They shouldn't – they get too much as it is. They need to get money like we do….get SS like we do and healthcare like we do… Not only that, they are in a position where they should have to maintain a maner of decorum, like…if they get a DUI they should be kicked out of the government, like wise, fraud, bankrupcy, etc. what kind of modeling are they doing. No wonder our kids turn out like they do…(not all of them of course) some have integrity.
That's a given: We all have to stop voting for anyone and everyone who doesn't make it a priority to repeal Obamacare, cap the federal debt and pushes for more taxes. They keep whining and asking how they can stop raising taxes. SIMPLE! Just stop the earmarks and the pork!!! And above all, STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC!!! This won't happen, though, because there are now too many lying, corrupt liberals in BOTH parties. Politicians aren't obligated to We the People, they're obligated to big money and organized crime that has "gone legit". Until we wake up and stop electing and re-electing the same crooks and liars over and over again, nothing will EVER change!
The thugs in DC are not worth the light bulbs that they are forcing us to buy from CHINA
SHUT THEM DOWN!
State and local government will do just fine without them.
