The taxman cometh!

Telonephobics beware! For it is the Ides of April and the second inevitability of life [1] is upon us. But fear not if you lack health insurance and cannot afford $95 or 1% of your income (whatever is higher) since it is very easy to avoid paying the [DELETED-penalty-DELETED] tax:

**#4. Get beaten by your wife.** Required documentation: None…> Official text reads: "You recently experienced domestic violence. Required documentation: None."…> **Translation:** Get attacked by your wife. You may then apply for the exemption by simply stating “I am exempt because my wife beat me.” No documentation required.

Via Captain Capitalism [2], “Citizen Liberty: 17 Ways To Avoid The Obamacare Tax Penalty, Including Being Beaten By Your Wife [3]”

It doesn't surprise me that a 2,700 page bill that no Congresscritter read [4] and over 33,000 pages of regulations [5] (wow! Something longer than Atlas Shrugged [6]) would have egregious loopholes in it.

Really?

Sheesh.
