When they are forcing you to purchase a product against your will, based on your mere existence and under penalty of law and fines, how can you not have legal standing?
Makes sense. But we are also “forced” to buy “services” of the government through confiscation of payroll taxes as in income taxes, FICA, et. al....simply because of our mere existence.

No, that is not analagous, because no one can force you to work. Those taxes result from your free decision to work. If you choose to not work and just be destitute, you are free to do so. That is freedom. This is not.

That was my initial thought as well, but it's not 100% accurate. You only pay income tax if you have income. You only pay property taxes if you own property.
This bill forces you to pay taxes for merely existing. How are they going to enforce this tax on the homeless?
