Dems Introduce HR 2411 – Automatic Wage Deductions to Pay Off Obama Debt

Democrats in Congress want to punish American workers with automatic wage deductions to pay down the Obama debt.

HR 2411

Sovereign Man reported, via Free Republic:

Folks… you just can’t make this stuff up.

On July 6th, just two days ago, at least a dozen busybody Congressmen sponsored the introduction of HR 2411, the “Reduce America’s Debt Now Act of 2011.” They always come up with fantastic names for these pieces of legislation… and rest assured, the better/more patriotic the name, the more ominous the bill. This one follows the pattern.

HR 2411 states that every worker in America should be able to voluntarily have a portion of his/her wages automatically withheld and sent directly to the Treasury Department for the purposes of paying down the federal debt.

“Every employer making payment of wages shall deduct and withhold upon such wages any amounts so elected, and shall pay such amounts over to the Secretary of the Treasury…”

That’s right. Uncle Sam is so broke that he wants to give all the good little Americans out there the opportunity to contribute an even greater portion of their paychecks to finance government largess.

Desperate? Hmmm…. Don’t worry, it gets better.

Obviously, if an employee feels so compelled and should elect to have a portion of his/her paycheck withheld, the onus of responsibility is now on the employer to make it happen. The employer has to do all the paperwork, withhold the money, send the payment to the Treasury, maintain the account records, and probably submit to all kinds of new filing requirements.

And this way Congress and Obama can continue to spending like drunken sailors (my apologies to sailors) and rack up even more debt.

I favor bake sales and a dunking booth for members of congress.

I'd pay a Benjamin to dunk Pelosi.

Not a bad idea, seriously.

Maybe they should open the Nancy Pelosi House of Prostitution.

No, I guess that wouldn't raise any money. Who would want to do her?

One would think that the Liberals who are calling for higher taxes would be lined up in order to get their chance to donate to the government.

Apparently not too many liberals are contributing.

Liberals are not liberal with their own money. That was proven with real Sociological research... that's why they fail in business so much, they won't do the requisite spending to make things happen... I've known so many of them that are such freebie hounds and actual garbage scroungers too... it's just nuts. I rented a room in a big old house that served as a meeting place for lots of "public advocates" and all sorts of Liberal people that were convinced that they should be able to think their way out of anything... "Be creative" was usually what they told somebody as the way to find answers to everything... Some were homeless too, they were homeless but they could get their names in the papers as advocates for the poor and all sorts of meaningless and useless garbage...

It's higher taxes on the next income bracket up that they're in.

Of course all you tax bitchers could join the tax resisters league.

We don't have to do anything really. The situation is in complete meltdown currently. For decades it was known that the Socialists could not pay out all the stuff they promised. Now their problem is that they can't make the minimums on their debt!!

Did anybody notice that Obama is talking about cutting Social Security payouts? I remember all these elections in the past few decades when idiots would buttonhole me and tell me how the Republicans were going to "do away with Social Security" but it's starting with Obama!! That piece of work came into orifice with the "share the wealth" and "end the wars" ideas and now he's bombing Libya and cutting Social Security!!
