In Psycho Talk today, Newt Gingrich ( resurrected again), claims that the health care reform bill will cause IRS to act like the health police, goose-stepping across an income tax form near you! Those government functionaries know more about paper cuts than we’ll ever imagine, if you catch my drift! Facts being mere obstacles for the eye of Newt, those who feel Gingrich pulls facts elsewhere than his sizable behind, are being told that 16,000 of these paper-pushing agents are out to get you!
While not nearly as sensational, or fear inducing, fear being the GOP’s last and best weapon, Ed Schultz gives an overview straight from the IRS commissioner, who has the real tax information. In fact, the news is actually good, and bears no semblance to Newtie’s tirades to the uninformed. Really, who gets incited to riot over the news of IRS tax credits and NO penalties! Don’t expect that bit of news to get a fraction of the press that Newtie’s outright lies do however.
