Tax Cheat Rangel Says: Punish Tax Cheats (?!)

As part of the "healthcare" bill (a.k.a. the health care system destruction bill) Charlie Rangel wants to punish citizens to the maximum extent of the law, including penalties, for making honest mistakes. You know, not like the intentional ones he has a habit of making.

Hold on there.

Why?

  • Because Obamacare is 100% guaranteed to blindside a preponderance of the People. "What do you mean, I have to pay $12,000 for health insurance? Why? I'm 10 feet tall and bulletproof! What do you mean, it's the law?"
    AND
  • Because Obamacare is going to CRUSH the federal budget. The more penalties you can wring out of people who make honest mistakes, the less-terrible the budget deficit is going to be. But if you just let people make honest mistakes out of ignorance, the right-wing mobs are going to start complaining again about how much we can't afford it.

    Because of course, nobody ever had a peek at Medicare's books and saw that the government can't keep health care costs under budget for sh*t.
