“When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal”

American Thinker;

Bill Elliott, a cancer patient who lost his insurance thanks to ObamaCare and was unable to pay the new rates, appeared on Megyn Kelley’s Fox News show, telling her he was going to just pay the fine and “let nature take its course.”
C. Steven Tucker, an insurance broker out of Chicago, saw Bill Elliot on the show talking about getting bounced from his coverage because of the ACA mandates, stepped in and helped the man retain his coverage.
Well, Bill Elliott is being audited by the IRS, and now so is C. Steven Tucker.

  1. Like most bureaucracies out there the staff is politicized and leans toward any party that will proclaim support for them. This is only an instance of over zealous workers trying to please the political masters. The proper answer to this is having the political appointed head of the department to crack down on the offenders and show that the system is to be fair. The problem is that the people that the current President has appointed come from his circle of friends and they have the same natural inclination to utilize the political institutions as blunt instruments. Chicagoland indeed.

  2. I guess that this is their best option to deal with such dissent since the death panels have not yet been convened.

  3. This is hardly an isolated case of politically targeted irs audits. And their is some evidence that they were ordered from within the White House. In Nixons time there were congressional hearings into the practice and hundreds of gallons of ink and hours of air time spent by the press reporting it.

  4. Tax departments should always be funded minimally, otherwise they get too creative. The biggest disgrace in Canada Revenue Agency’s history was the effort spent about 25 or 30 years ago attacking amongst the poorest people in Canada, waitresses, trying to tax their tips. They had very poor success and even if they doubled waitresses income probably wouldn’t have generated as much money as taxing one Bronfman when he moved to the U.S. about that time.
    With all the funding increases to C.R.A. recently they did it again but not on such a grand scale, chasing amongst the lowest income people in Canada for tips.

  5. Let it be said that not one American or Western citizen can ever genuinely or honestly say that they have “no idea how Hitler came to dominate and rule over the German peoples of the 1930’s”.

  6. Well Obama stands right in front of people, tells them if they like their plan, they can keep it. Period! And right up front, lied to the American people to win an election and the band played on. The media that were in the tank for him, still are, many of them out of fear now that he’s starting to play Communist Hardball.

  7. Why does this whole fuster cluck come across like a bad Mel Brooks movie? “The inquisition, the inquisition”

  8. The founding fathers would be loading their guns and checking their supply of tar and feathers by now.

  9. Knight 99, you have it right. Just like a frog in a pot of water slowly being heated up, the totalitarianism is being implemented one little hardly noticeable regulation and law at a time.
    And the cult of personality is paving the way.
    Chris, exactly.

  10. Oh no you cant lynch Obama because he is black and that would make you racist.. Lower your eyes and bend over for the new Royal family..
    To me the lesson of the first black president is not his color but the extent of what his supporters will do to protect him from the ghost of racism.. When this specter didn’t appear they went out looking for him.. Personal politics blinding people from where the man starts and the politics ends.. There is no difference when your weakness and failure can get projected upon your political enemies..
    Defense becomes offence if the enemy doesn’t take to the field..
    The National Socialists (NAZI) connection is accurate IMHO.. Zealots feeding on zealots in the name of their own personal politics.. Responsibility lifted because they are able to think the order would have came down from above if only the unenlightened were out of the way.. Abuse and atrocity stand in for truth and justice.. Our hands will be clean when there is nobody left to accuse us the most severe political sickness that could ever infect a democracy.. In other words the people have gone MAD..

  11. Communists have no shame. Just inhuman agendas.
    Does it really surprise anyone how vicious this Group of socialists are? After what they did to Sarah Palin, or Joe the plumber.The IRS audits of the Tea Party? There in no low how far they will not go.
    This Government is hard core Authoritarian.From Benghazi to the NSA.Fast & furious to the IRS. The department of Justice is a joke run by a criminal.The EPA religious green fanatics. One can’t even describe the perverts at the TSA. Than you have the Czars. The Media just a propaganda arm. America has become a Socialist Dictatorship. With few exceptions a one party State.

  12. “Well, Bill Elliott is being audited by the IRS, and now so is C. Steven Tucker.”
    They both probably have been assigned as a semi-permanent project to an intern at the NSA too.

  13. You know, as recently as five years ago I was giving some serious thought about moving to the US. You couldn’t get me there now at gunpoint.
    I mean, I used to think that it was only Ontario that was full of gutless, lazy, comfortable, dickheads who would sit and stretch out their limbs for government parasites that came in to feed on them.
    Geez, wouldn’t it be sweet if someone is starting up a Guillotine factory…with a government grant! 😉

  14. Are there still middle class Walter Mittys who do not recognize the Washington regimes as a criminal conspiracy to undermine the republic?
    As for the zombie hordes, they can be bought with a ‘Bamaphone and a welfare account at Walmart and could care less if Satan was in power and running a genocide against those with morals – but that will change when the inner city welfare funding collapses. Then they have been programmed to blame red state America for all their misfortune and the riots will mutate into mass raiding and looting of suburbia – this will be a second amendment is sacred moment.

  15. Jamie, I was thinking the same way 5 years ago but right now the US is still a nice place to visit, but no damn way would I live there now.
    If any Republican president did even a fraction of what Obozo has done, the MSM would be howling for impeachment. Since we’re dealing with an affirmative action communist narcissist, the MSM is curiously silent. Not clear if their silence is as a result of fear or stupidity. In any event, they’ve already signed the death warrants of large newspapers and TV networks who will vanish in the resultant reorganization of the US.
    Occam, unfortunately I suspect your prediction will come through but the bright side of the picture is the very large number of armed civilians as well as the presence of a substantial portion of the population with military experience. The latter is the group that Obozo considers to be “terrorists” and I suspect that when TSHTF, this group will be the nucleus around which citizen militias coalesce and put to use all of the techniques of asymmetrical warfare they learned in Afghanistan and Iraq. A second war of northern aggression will result in a radically different result given that the old Union states have disarmed and deindustrialized whereas industry has moved to the old Confederate states and the people of the South are firm believers in the second amendment. It would be a war of hoards of shrieking welfare queens waving Obamaphones against a heavily armed citizenry. The only way the Dumbocrats could win this war is if the working population ran out of ammunition before they ran out of welfare recipients.

  16. Impeachment is truly required in this case. What the hell does he have to do before he gets impeached?

  17. On the money as usual Loki AFA the looming break down and resultant civil disorder in the US is concerned – yes ex-service personnel will rally with red state patriots and organize them in a SHTF scenario, yes the criminal administration fears this as a potential counter revolution (thus the current purge of veterans,patriots and dissenters which will escalate as things get worse).
    The criminal revolutionary elements in the current regime have determined that to fully achieve unilateral power unbound by constitutional, judicial, democratic or congressional constraints, they have to collapse the economy and use the panicked/reliant/depraved welfare hordes to attack red state America (the only resistance to the current domestic police state putsch).
    The wild card in the mix is where the military will stand – with the republic or with the criminal leadership of the putsch – my sources in the states and in the service tell me the military is evenly divided at the command level but the rank and file will side with patriots against their commanders – this is why we are witnessing unpresedented firings and purges of the command structure by the current Washington regime – they MUST have the command structure on their side when TSHTF – still it is the returning vets and enlisted ground pounders the conspirators do not have on side – Bu you can see them rolling out the political indoctrinating and mind control tech on the troops telling them who their real enemies are – gun owners, tea partyers, christians, republicans and libertarians.

    We live in epic times.

  18. My advise to C. Steven Tucker would be to move out of Chicago ASAP as the city tends to have a lot of murders that go unsolved. Tucker is pretty much living in a den of snakes. A few strings get pulled and you become fish food in Lake Michigan.
