In exchange for one
of the largest tax increases in history, we will get…what?
Penalty or tax? Some people don’t care, since they won’t pay
it anyway
As illustrated on this Time Magazine flow chart (look under
“Rules of the Mandate” at right), some people will be excused from paying the
tax/penalty – including “undocumented immigrants” (a.k.a. illegal aliens),
people in jail, or people who don’t work enough to earn a reasonable
income. These people, among others, will
continue getting a free ride at taxpayer expense. See chart here
Here’s a closer look at two of those who will still be
free-riding, courtesy of taxpayers
“Two homeless
men in Fresno have called for an ambulance an average of nearly twice a day for
more than a year, racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs and even
more when they get to a hospital. They are Fresno County's highest-volume
ambulance users -- "frequent fliers" as they are called in the
business -- and their 1,363 combined trips made up 1.34% of all American
Ambulance calls in the county last year.” Read more here
And unions continue to block reasonable
measures to cut costs
“The largest
privatization venture undertaken by Florida’s prison system is in peril, and
when the new fiscal year begins Sunday, it might be doomed, in another
political victory for organized labor.” Read more here
Over
2700 pages, and none of this was addressed?
