NEW DEBTORS PRISON

[Guest guest]

“Now add to this absurdity, the idea that Congress

would mandate that each person in America (including illegal aliens) must buy

health insurance, pay new taxes on their health care and if they don’t,

the IRS will fine them up to $25,000 and up to a year in jail and it is clear

what the result would be: the modern version of debtors prison. The Heritage

Foundation has an analysis of the effect of this mandate on lower income and

middle income people here.

THE DEMOCRAT'S NEW DEBTORS PRISON

IRS

enforced health insurance mandate is the new debtor’s prison.

I

love the progressive social movement. They are so full of contradictions and

hypocrisy that it would be laughable if it wasn’t so sad, or so dangerous

to our liberty. After all, the irony of the progressives purporting to care

more about the poor, but actually instituting policies which hurt them is

stunning.

If

you aggregate all of the concepts that the President and the Democrat

controlled Congress are trying to implement (not to mention here in Oregon), it amounts to a

huge increase in the cost of living, which disproportionately hurts poor

people. Higher fossil fuel prices because Congress locks up America’s

oil, higher overall energy prices from cap and tax schemes, higher cigarette

taxes, alcohol taxes and on and on. Obviously, these higher prices ripple

through the economy creating inflation that affects every aspect of life making

it harder for the average person to live the American dream, but especially

poor people.

Now

add to this absurdity, the idea that Congress would mandate that each person in

America (including illegal aliens) must buy health insurance, pay new taxes on

their health care and if they don’t, the IRS will fine them up to $25,000

and up to a year in jail and it is clear what the result would be: the modern

version of debtors prison. The Heritage Foundation has an analysis of the

effect of this mandate on lower income and middle income people here.

 

So

let me get this right: We are going to help those who don’t have health

care because they can't afford it by taxing them up the wazoo for that very

health care? And, if they don’t buy health insurance, then we are going

to turn the limitless power of the IRS against them, fine them outrageous

amounts of money and throw them in prison?

This

type of tyranny led to many revolutions in the world’s history, as people

objected to the ruling elites oppressing them with outrageous taxes and prison

time if you couldn’t pay the debt to the government. If this in actually

implemented in the final bill, the revolution in America will be profound, as it

should be. The average American trying to live the American dream will wake up

from their slumber when this hits them square in the face and will throw out

the bums who rammed this down their throat.

If

being progressive means going back to the days of 16th Century England, then

count me out.
