The Democrat’s rationed health care system would cause the greatest expansion of the IRS since World War II.
The Washington Examiner reported:
New tax mandates and penalties included in Obamacare will cause the greatest expansion of the Internal Revenue Service since World War II, according to a release from Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas.
A new analysis by the Joint Economic Committee and the House Ways & Means Committee minority staff estimates up to 16,500 new IRS personnel will be needed to collect, examine and audit new tax information mandated on families and small businesses in the ‘reconciliation’ bill being taken up by the U.S. House of Representatives this weekend. …
Scores of new federal mandates and fifteen different tax increases totaling $400 billion are imposed under the Democratic House bill. In addition to more complicated tax returns, families and small businesses will be forced to reveal further tax information to the IRS, provide proof of ‘government approved’ health care and submit detailed sales information to comply with new excise taxes.
Americans for Tax Reform has a good breakdown of the bill by the numbers.

16,500 jobs that are pointless and produce nothing.

I have had to deal with IRS agents in a previous worklife. You DO NOT want them involved in your health issues.

And everyone in this country will learn to walk around on all fours so that we’re already bent over whenever they feel the need to screw us.

Once again the name is changed – Agents = Assigned Repo’s Controllers (STrong ArM stealing)
Progressing back to serfdom/slave mentality.
Patriots have been putting out their fires for years, we just weren’t taught that truth.

50% of america doesn’t even pay taxes. This wagon that we are pulling is getting too heavy. Americans need to adjust their tax returns so that it ends up being break even. I can’t understand why people get excited when they get their own money back once a year. Quit letting the government use your money.
Joanne commented:
Holy crap batman. I suppose Obama believes this is job creation – taxpayers paying for government jobs. People should start opening Swiss bank accounts.
This is soooo bad on so many levels.
Joanne commented:
Isn’t Obama arming these guys with powerful weaponry too – the kind that comes with lead, but the kind you don’t push.

that will bring the forces up to about 50,000 total, if they field all support personnel from FBI, Secret Service, DEA, and now the IRS.
There are 120,000,000 armed citizens. The fed can issue light sabers and blaster guns, it won’t make a difference if things go bad.
Only fools and radical zealots like Pelosi than think the path they are on will not result in some kind of blow back. What will citizens do if someone who can’t afford healthcare or refuses to pay the fee is arrested and jailed.
Is that who we are as a nation?
Mediocre President commented:
Well, they did say Obamacare would create jobs.
