IRS Posts Enforcement Notices for 2014 Obamacare Extortion Payments

How warm and fuzzy to call extortion a “shared responsibility payment”.

ex·tor·tion [ik-stawr-shuhn]
noun
1. an act or instance of extorting.
2. Law. the crime of obtaining money or some other thing of value by the abuse of one’s office orauthority.
3. oppressive or illegal exaction, as of excessive price or interest: the extortions of usurers.
4. anything extorted.

The mobsters agents at the IRS have warned Americans that on their 2014 tax returns, they’ll be asked about their health insurance coverage.

Your 2014 tax return will ask if you had insurance coverage or qualified for an exemption. If not, you may owe a shared responsibility payment when you file in 2015. (source)

Doesn’t that sound much nicer than, “If you can’t afford to pay, we’ll fine you because you can’t afford to pay”? The public relations folks for the IRS must have worked overtime on coming up with the term “shared responsibility payment” because this fits the textbook legal definition of extortion.

First degree murder should be added to the list of crimes perpetrated upon the citizens of this country by obamacare. People will soon be dying because of it and it was all premeditated. Premeditated means it was planned out ahead of time and there was plenty of time to think about the consequences before the act was committed. They knew when they crafted this unaffordable care act that people would necessarily be denied life sustaining medical care. It's about to start happening in families around America. Wait until it is their mother or father. That is when it's going to sink in to a whole lot of useful idiots in this country, after it is too late. The proof will be in the pudding.
