Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain "acceptable health insurance coverage" and who choose not to pay the bill's new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.

Add to this the wonderful example of the Obama/SEIU thug-like tactics used at the town hall meeting in Aug at ST Louis, I think we can all draw comparisons between the liberal/obama community organizing tactics and the tactics used by many of the dictators and even Hitler when they came to power. Direct attacks on the freedom of speech, both in the media and in policies such as the fairness doctrine and net neturality and even the thought police type policies like hate crime legislation can add to the comparisons. Heck, how many liberals are stating in public that they are jealous of Chavez and his control of the media?

I know someone will state that anyone comparing Obama to the likes of Hitler and Chavez is evil or wrong but I am not saying he wants to murder people in their homes, place them in detention camps or create a superior race. The comparison is strictly about the tactics used.
