It’s so cute that you wish to portray yourself as a “great thinker”, but your basic premise is that a penalty is a tax. Magically, somehow. So, I will LAUGH at you. Because it is quite amusing in a “aw, look at that child” kind of way

Oh look a tag-team shill who insults as a child would.

Especially in leaving out those pesky facts in order to get to the schoolyard taunts.

The details of the penalty versus tax discussion are, of course, in my linked analysis. And as they arise from the legal definitions of Title 26, as used long before Obamacare came along (as was pointed out by Roberts), they are not subject to argument, only application.

Which is why the Chief Justice invoked the jurisdictional definitions and limitations of the income tax, of course, and warned against misapplying that power of enforcement.

So that's what you're claiming to laugh at - that I'm pointing out that Roberts pointed out that Obamacare doesn't apply to most people.

But then, you're not really laughing. What you're really doing is flipping through shill NLP manuals trying to find words to scare soccer moms into not reading or understanding the ruling. Which is, of course, pretty pathetic. But when I watch you do your Muppet dance and realize that you actually believe your tactics are invisible, then it is I who laugh - for real.

Children, children everywhere, and all with loaded diapers.
