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.
Isn't it reassuring that at a time of recession, government will do what's necessary to ensure its growth?

To all those who voted for Obama bin laden because of color and who knew nothing of what he wanted... Are you happy now? we get to be fined by IRS and or jail time now, and 15 more taxes... Are you happy now with your change?

P.S.
There will be no reconciliation after this bill is passed, regardless of what people tell you...

12:34,

Palin? I believe that it is working out just fine. We will have health care reform and many other needed programs. We know it is working well because of all the lies and deceits that are coming from the right. If it wasn't working, you all would shut up.

We should all just go to work for the government because the way its going they are running the business owners like me into bankruptcy. With what these a--holes are proposing I will be forced to shut down my business. Wake up people it's not going to get any better until we all make a stand for what is right and paying for someone else's health care is not right!
