Anthony Ciani has some good advice at AmericanThinker:
Despite being “the law of
the land”, President Obama is telling a lot of people to ignore ObamaCare; but
does that absolve you from following it?
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as ObamaCare, is now in full
effect, or it is supposed to be. To
avert certain political disaster for the Democratic Party, Obama has issued, as
of March 5, 2014, 20 unilateral executive actions to “delay” ObamaCare mandates
and taxes.
The President has the
authority to pardon, but he cannot pre-pardon your crimes, just as a priest
cannot pre-absolve your uncommitted sins; and just as a priest cannot change
the list of sins, Obama cannot change the taxes you owe or the benefits you
must provide. So what could happen if
you follow Obama’s “delays” and “waivers” in lieu of the law?
. . . One of Obama’s unilateral changes was to allow people to keep
their existing, non-qualifying insurance plans, but those who do will still owe
the taxes, regardless of what Obama says or leads you to believe.
So what might happen if you keep your insurance and forgo
your 2014 ObamaCare tax? Regardless of
reason, whether you believed Obama or were civilly disobedient, you failed to
pay your taxes; however, the ObamaCare tax is special. The IRS can neither criminally prosecute you
nor seize your property for refusing to pay the mandate tax, but it can place
liens on your property and assess penalties, and the IRS can criminally
prosecute you and seize your property for failing to pay the penalties for
evading the ObamaCare mandate.
These are potentially
serious consequences, so if your 2014 tax preparation software omits the
ObamaCare tax, complain to the manufacturer.
Find software or a preparer that includes the tax, or prepare the forms
yourself. If the official IRS forms omit
the ObamaCare tax, complain to or sue the IRS, and then figure it out on your
own. Whatever you do, determine if you
comply, and pay if you do not.
. . . Only the law is
meaningful to the courts; they care nothing about unlawful executive decrees.[emphasis added]
