Healthcare Bill – Tax Records Release & New Tax Penalties: Term Limits for Congress

Privacy Rights in Danger. Tax Penalties on Taxpayers. The House version of the Obama Healthcare bill requires the release of tax records to the Health Czar and thousands of government employees. Dr. Joyce Starr interviews Congressman Will Robyou on this explosive privacy rights issue. Show Date: September 3, 2009.

Term Limits for Congress? Over 40 percent of Americans think we would be better served by randomly picking our representatives from the phone book.

The Chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee, Charlie Rangel, failed to declare more than $600,000 in assets – and as much as $1.3 million in outside income – in his Senate financial disclosure form. Rangel excused his oversights by saying, “…I delegated to my staff the completion of my annual House financial disclosure statements…”

Yet, the Congressman recently attached new provisions to the healthcare bill that would impose higher penalties on taxpayers for unintentional mistakes. His bill also requires the release of IRS records to the new “health czar” – as well as thousands of government employees at the national and local levels.

According to Washington Post & Associated Press reports, Rangel’s “Obamacare” bill would:

* Punish those who fail to alert the IRS to potentially questionable tax exemptions.

* Bar the IRS from waiving penalties against taxpayers who clearly erred in good faith.

* Double fines in certain circumstances.

* Increase fines for honest mistakes.

But how can any Member of Congress justify attaching sweeping (and unrelated) tax penalties to the healthcare legislation – while completing undermining our privacy rights in the process?

Rangel & friends want to make the IRS the “Great Healthcare Enforcer.” (Privacy Rights? What Privacy Rights?)

Congressional approval ratings are now 37 percent – the lowest in over 20 years. Nearly 57 percent of Americans would like to replace the entire Congress. Sentiment is equally divided against both political parties.

Members of Congress  understand how to game the system for their own benefit. They should not be allowed to serve for life!

New rallying cry for political Independents? Term limits for Congress!
