John Nolte wrote a brief op-ed published in
Breitbart.com, in which he stated his
decision as to future strategies regarding ObamaCare.
He does not intend to take out a policy at
this time. He is 47, has a family,
and is healthy. Since ObamaCare
cannot refuse a person for pre-existing conditions or charge anyone back payments, Nolte can use the government as his crisis insurance, taking out a policy only after he becomes
critically ill or has an accident. Until
then, he does not need insurance.
To avoid paying a fine, he had his employer revise his W-4 and no
longer pays more taxes that are actually owed
. . . all of which is legal, by the way.
Understand that unless you are
owed a tax refund, the IRS cannot penalize
you. It cannot collect garnished
payments nor can it prosecute the individual
- all this according to the law, itself.
As an aside,
I personally support the underground economy --
paying everyone who does work for me,
in my retirement, “under the
table.” I am in the system, so paying taxes that feed my able bodied but lazy neighbor, is no option.
So, “hats
off to John Nolte,” for thinking with
brain instead of being driven by fear or anger.
