How warm and fuzzy to call extortion a “shared responsibility payment”.
ex·tor·tion [ik-stawr-shuh
n]
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.(source)
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.
The Mafia IRS is careful to make certain that you are aware you “need to pay” this.
If you (or any of your dependents) do not maintain coverage and do not qualify for an exemption, you will need to make an individual shared responsibility payment with your return. In general, the payment amount is either a percentage of your income or a flat dollar amount, whichever is greater. You will owe 1/12th of the annual payment for each month you (or your dependents) do not have coverage and are not exempt. The annual payment amount for 2014 is the greater of:
- 1 percent of your household income that is above the tax return threshold for your filing status, such as Married Filing Jointly or single, or
- Your family’s flat dollar amount, which is $95 per adult and $47.50 per child, limited to a maximum of $285.
The individual shared responsibility payment is capped at the cost of the national average premium for the bronze level health plan available through the Marketplace in 2014. You will make the payment when you file your 2014 federal income tax return in 2015. (source)
Some people object to the income tax to start with and are engaging in battles with the Mafia IRS over the very principle of such a thing. But even if you feel that paying taxes is your duty or obligation as a citizen, if ever there has been a reason to balk at paying taxes, this is it.
Basically, if you pay for Obamacare, you get nothing until you’ve already paid $5000 from your own pocket, meaning that most families spend at bare minimum $7,000 before getting one iota in return. And I don’t know about you, but even with children, we don’t rack up $7,000 in medical bills over the period of five years, more less one.
If you refuse to enroll and pay for Obamacare, you’re supposed to pay the IRS for nothing just because they said so…sort of like paying “protection money” to the Mafia so that they don’t send someone around to burn down your home.
Good luck with that, IRS. If enough Americans refuse to participate in this extortion, then what exactly are they going to do about it? Are they going to kneecap us? Mail us the severed ear of a family member by parcel post? Hold the family cat for ransom until the “protection money” is paid?
The very term “shared responsibility payment” sounds like something from a novel by Orwell, and personally, I’m not going to “share a responsibility” I had no part in creating. I will not comply.
The US Federal Government is the ideal business model for perpetrating acts of organized crime on innocent people. And one of these days, those innocent people are going to fight back, either through non-compliance, civil disobedience, or other means.

I will post a comment I posted on a similar piece here:
It’ll be interesting to see 16,000 armed IRS agents trying to imprison or kneecap or burn down homes or shoot about ten million Americans, mostly armed as well, over maybe a few hundred or less “tax” dollars. Imagine: spending maybe 1,000 dollars per agent per day (including his salary, gun, kevlar bullet proof vest, helmet, hotel room and meals per diem), or likely more, just to collect a couple of hundred dollars from each non-compliant taxpayer. Coupling this with most gun owners in Connecticut and non compliant gun owners in NYC as well as NY state–we’re not talking Texas here, we’re talking blue states!–and like I said it’ll be interesting…I am starting to think more and more Americans will NOT be compliant, and, when it comes to the stinkin’ ObamaCare website, will not be able to be compliant even if they want to be!
Which is probably why the site does not work…to hell with health care, as long as the IRS gets its stolen money. Which is probably why those who think they are signed up are not because they haven’t been billed yet, and these who think they are signed up will also have to pay the tax. It’s about extortion, indeed, not health care.
Now they think they have a pretext to round people up…FEMA camps for those who refuse to buy ObamaCare and cannot or will not pay the tax.
So, in 2015, they go after individuals because these are the least likely to be able to pay…and most easily rounded up. They will likely keep putting off the employer mandate…if they can’t force individuals to comply, then they certainly won’t be able to force employers to comply.
Out where we live, a SEIU thug or IRS wimp, armed or not, won’t last ten minutes…watch out for those mountain lions and bears…let alone armed people.
Remember what I said the IRS can not bill you that would be illegal even unlawful. They get around this by having you fill out your statement of how much you earn (which they know) and not using your fifth amendment rights. That is to not incriminate yourself. The Constitution spelled it out for you . No new tax unless it is apportioned. Do you get it. Make them bill you, there is no law. Codes and statues are not laws.
I don’t think, at least initially, that the British lizard queen’s revenue agency will go after individuals – it will go after employers with threats of felony charges and continue ratcheting up the unconstitutional and illegal requirements of taking additional taxes out of employees’ paychecks, so it won’t be an issue of an individual saying yes or no to this next step of government theft.
Agreed. They will go after your employer. When that fails they will go into your banking account and grab the money. If that doesn’t work they will take your social security check or any government benefit you are getting. If you own property I believe they can put a lien on it when you go to sell it. Yes they have many tricks up their sleeves. I’m starting to admire those guys who live off the land in Alaska, ignore the IRS and government and just do it on their own.
“Shared responsibility payment” sounds good to me! I owe $400 dollars…I will pay three cents and let the IRS pay the rest.
I don’t have the numbers but less than 10 percent of Connecticut residents owning “illegal” guns and ammo registered their “illegal” guns or ammo. That idiot running NYC is having similar issues. Now I realize that many Americans really are afraid of the IRS (I do payroll for my employer and used to say stupid stuff like “You don’t mess with the IRS”…no really…even I was bamboozeled and not very long ago either…researching ObamaCare taxes woke me up on this), but I really think a large number of taxpayers are gonna not comply on this one. It’ll come down to a choice of either paying for ObamaCare or the tax on the one hand and feeding the family/paying the mortgage on the other hand, especially young people with young families. I could be wrong but I truly believe this is the straw that will break the American people’s back and will get necessary things that need to happen, to happen.
