Maine Gov Calls New ObamaCare IRS Agents the ‘New Gestapo’

Maine Governor Paul LePage blasted the Supreme Court’s ObamaCare decision & the $500 billion tax increase in the bill, and called the 16,500 new IRS agents hired to enforce the tax the ‘new Gestapo.

Considering an average salary/ benefits of $80,000, the new 16,500 Gestapo agents will cost US taxpayers an additional $1,320,000,000.

Gov LePage stated Saturday:

This tax will add to the $500 billion in tax increases that are already in Obamacare. Now that Congress can use the taxation power of the federal government to compel behavior or lack thereof, what’s next? More taxes if we don’t drive Toyota Priuses or if we eat too much junk food or maybe even pea soup?

This decision has made America less free. ‘We The People’ have been told there is no choice. You must buy health insurance or pay the new Gestapo – the I.R.S.

Even more disheartening is that reviving the American dream just became nearly impossible to do. We are now a nation in which supports dependency rather than independence. Instead of encouraging self-reliance we are encouraging people to rely on the government.

  1. Shameful but the truth!

  2. Seig Heil Mein Uber Meister!
     

  3. I’d like to know where everyone who now has to buy insurance, is going to come up with 700-3000 dollars more a month to pay for it?

    Should we implement a program like this, when there’s 0% unemployment, and everyone can afford a new corvette?

  4. Personally as an American, I should have the right to REFUSE and or NOT USE the AMA system.  I would sign any waiver, that would allow me to take 100% personal responsibility of my own health. If I choose to get treatment, I will pay for it like any other business transaction.

    30 years now, being my own doctor, and doing very well, thank you.

  5. Let me get this
    straight . . .

    We’re going to be
    “gifted” with a health care
    plan we are
    forced to
    purchase
    and
    fined if we don’t,
    Which purportedly
    covers at least

    ten million
    more people
    ,
    without
    adding
    a
    single new doctor
    ,
    but provides
    for
    16,000 new IRS
    agents
    ,
    written by a committee
    whose chairman
    says he
    doesn’t
    understand it
    ,
    passed by a Congress that
    didn’t read
    it but
    Exempted themselves from
    it,

    and signed by a Dumbo
    President who
    smokes,
    with funding administered by a treasury chief
    who

    didn’t
    pay his taxes
    ,
    for which we’ll be taxed for
    four years before any
    benefits take effect
    ,
    by a government which
    has

    already
    bankrupted Social Security and Medicare
    ,

    and financed by a country that’s broke!!!!!
    ‘What the hell
    could
    possibly go wrong?’
  6. Great post Silver Hawk    I think the same way and have decided that if the MF’ers in the gummint tell my I have to pay my gummint mandated insurance to that pack of wealth distributing kleptocrats they can go to hell.   I will pay for my own medical treatment.  If they say I am not allowed a medical treatment because I’m some old F*** who’se going to get  a  shiny new Soylent Green ticket from the Medicare Nazi Death Panels;  no problemo. I will go to another country to get treatment  I hear Costa Rica and Uruguay are nice this time of year.   The Maine Governor’s head is in the right place but he has his Nazis a little confused  The DHS, headed up that rug munching beast  in her shiny new  red custom tailored  shower curtain jacket, Chaz Napolitano;  she’s  the Gestapo.  Hey Chaz, if your reading this—go F yourself with a McCulloch 24 inch chain saw.  The IRS are the Waffen SS complete with their little shiny hats.  To that I say, you each  need two of those hats   Mr IRS.  One to S*** in and one to cover it with.  I’m kind of psycho today so please forgive me my language.  All this just pissed me off to the max.   
    4 OZ   yep, it’s gonna really work out well, this program.  What a freaking FUBAR  I’m just old enough to have to start dealing with this.  This is my final words on this.  You want to force me.  Then bring it!!!  And bring your medical care, your medical card and a boat load of body bags   I am itching for a fight.

  7. The Maine Democrats don’t like Page and boy is he tough, one great Governor. I’m glad I voted for him. He has vetoed many bills and clamped down on spending since taking office and long may it continue.
    Maine is considered a Welfare State which he is changing. Glad I’m in Maine. Thumbs Up.

  8. Hell ya 4oz that was killer. I do not think it will come to pass we will have collapsed by then 

  9. You guys need to get real. USA had the worst health care system of every industrialized nation on earth. We are talking about people who were too poor to get something as necessary as health. Obamacare is not perfect, in fact it should have been 100% public instead of giving money to corporations, but it’s still a step in the right direction. We are talking about humans who were dying or indebted for life only because they were sick. Get real. This is a good thing.

  10. balz;

    I was going to leave a well thought out commet for you but do to your ignorance it would not help. Please have more important things to do on voting days….
  11. Baltz. Actually the USA has the best health care system in the world as people from far and wide come here for their health care needs.
    As for Socialized medicine a Big No For Me and that’s what it is.
    I was raised in the UK and have used the hospitals there and I have family members that have been waiting over two years for an operation. I had a sister that was on the waiting list but died before they could get to operate, angry darn right I am.
    All through my working years I have paid into the system either through a job or private insurance and I have always been taken care off.
    As for the so called poor people you are talking about, They are Never Turned Away from the hospitals and will always receive emergency care.
    IT really gets to me when people want something for nothing like the Welfare State here in Maine.

    By the way. Obama Care is not a Health Care Bill it’s a Freedoms Reductions Bill. Check it Out.

  12. “Actually the USA has the best health care system in the world as people from far and wide come here for their health care needs.”

    That is just the propaganda that most people believe in.  The US spends the most $ per capita, yet has one of the lowest life expectancy ages in the industrialized world.  Health care should be about prevention, but the focus in the USA has always been health management (of symptoms) for the most profits.

    The best health care comes from people that can treat and cure diseases without resorting to man-made drugs and/or surgery, which unfortunately are the only arsenals available to modern conventional medicine.
