Shootout at the Tax City Tax Service in Detroit

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Talk about man crush.

I believe the shooter was black. There's your connection. I'm a genius.

Oh yeah, they were after his long form for how long?

Sounds like a liberal's paradise. Work short hours and live off the backs of others.

Eh? Man you really need to brush up on your ideological theory. Liberals WANT government universal health care and NOT have everyone have Ak47s. I was actually describing a place where you could move to. Guess what also? They have no federal taxes since they don't even have a functional centralized government.

All of us hard working liberals will chip in for your plane ticket I'm sure

I know how you libs like to help others. As I'm not sure when I will leave, you can just send the cash and I promise I'll use it wisely. Or, if you prefer, you can just make out a check to your local tea party. In the end, that will help all of us even more. Kum bai ya.....

Since the original story was short on any real details (not to worry thought VJ graciously added its own) I sought out another source.

The only additional information I can find is that the woman was pi$$ed that her refund check wasn't ready and started a dust up with the guard....with the guard...

I guess if you get your taxes done where guard is necessary you could expect a little gun play.

What are you saying? That it's possible that this was just some woman being upset her check wasn't ready? Not some ACA conspiracy as suggested here?

Say it ain't so!

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

No Obamacare angle on this? Bummer!

[Peikko 1,575]

I wonder if he just found out that the Obamacare tax/penalty consumed all or most of the refund his friend was expecting. My tax preparer showed me on paper what my penalty would have been if I my employer didn't provide insurance. I knew right then that this tax season would be very interesting for many Obama fans.

Anyone that thinks a reasonable response to disagreeing with how the IRS assesses your tax return is to go and try and shoot tax employees is a complete moron and deserves to spend a LOT of time in prison. That's deplorable, shameful and wrong and that's the focus this thread should have not some pathetic right wing attack on affordable care.

Even worse if it was simply her check wasn't ready. Deplorable.

Judging from the young man's actions I'm guessing he is not well versed in the details of the ACA. His bond was set at $250,000, charged with assault with the intent to murder.

I bet his ladies tax return won't cover the bond.

Trying to get it back on track for you Penny.

Thanks for the clarity Operator. I really thought ACA was the reason this dude went off the rails. Whew.

Yep, next year is going to be a hoot! If this is how people act when their check isn't ready, I can not even fathom how they will act when they find out that they will have to fork over $ 95 dollars or 1% of their MAGI (whichever is greater ) for Obamacare.

How does “Minimum Essential Coverage” differ from “Essential Health Benefits”?

Essential health benefits are required to be offered by certain plans starting in 2014 as a component of the essential health benefit package. They are also the benefits that are subject to the annual and lifetime dollar limit requirements.

This is different than minimum essential coverage, which refers to the coverage needed to avoid the individual mandate penalty. Coverage does not have to include essential benefits to be minimum essential coverage.

What is the penalty for noncompliance?

The penalty is the greater of:

• For 2014, $95 per uninsured person or 1 percent of household income over the filing threshold,
• For 2015, $325 per uninsured person or 2 percent of household income over the filing threshold, and
• For 2016 and beyond, $695 per uninsured person or 2.5 percent of household income over the filing threshold.

There is a family cap on the flat dollar amount (but not the percentage of income test) of 300 percent, and the overall penalty is capped at the national average premium of a bronze level plan purchases through an exchange. For individuals under 18 years old, the applicable per person penalty is one-half of the amounts listed above.

Beginning in 2017, the penalties will be increased by the cost-of-living adjustment.

Who will be exempt from the mandate?

Individuals who have a religious exemption, those not lawfully present in the United States, and incarcerated individuals are exempt from the minimum essential coverage requirement.

I'm not forking over a penny. I am covered.

Yeah, because that's a really rational way to react over an act that has been ratified through the legal process. Sure, if you do not like it, change it through the ballot box, although I am not sure how you are going to get a majority to vote to remove an act that allows people who previously couldn't get health insurance the ability to get it. That's a tough sell.

I must suck at being a liberal, been working for the last 25 years. About to retire next year, but I'm looking for another job as we speak. I'm still waiting for my free shyt!

No one will hire you. You're black.

Some folks just don't play about that rapid refund

I know, that's why my screen name is Marvin. If I used my real name(Dequan Trayvon Jamal Abdul Dookie Martin) I'd have more issues.
