ObamaCare Now Officially the Largest Tax Hike in US History!

From $94 billion to $1.6 trillion...

President Obama has repeatedly asserted that the new health care law's individual mandate requiring everyone to have qualified health insurance coverage or pay a penalty is not a tax. 

In a testy exchange with ABC's George Stephanopoulos--who, ironically, also pushed for sweeping health care reform legislation when he worked for then-President Bill Clinton--Stephanopoulos pointed out that ObamaCare critics call the mandate a tax.

Obama rejected the claim and noted that his critics call everything a tax: "For us to say that you've got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase." -Forbes

So Obama SWORE up, down, and sideways that the mandate WAS NOT A TAX... now it is, and in fact the largest tax increase in US history

Also, the Medicare provision appears very problematic for the bill... the state exchanges can't be forced upon the states like ObamaCare needs to work.  Remember Christie refused to do it until the ruling... WELL, he won today- and other states can tell Obama NO too.

That's seems as disabling as if the mandate was shot down... innit?

And heres to the comming wave of illegals who will take what few jobs the majority of blacks are qualified for. Wonder how Miguel will like it when they realize they are picking oranges or cotton while their Masters are sitting on the porch, sipping the Lean.

The thugs in suits in Congress will be sure to set the rates in a very quick fashion.

Mo’ money! Mo money! Mo money!

No, Roberts was appointed by a RINO and also fell victim to "INSIDE-THE-BELTWAY-ITIS". He wants to keep his access to the cocktail circuit.

He is also more worried about his Legacy than the Constitution.

.. and put his feet up on our desk

Excuse me, but what is that weight I feel on my neck?

"America was founded when one-third of the population decided to take a stand against tyrannical government.

One-third of the population was willing to shoot their neighbors, friends, and relatives rather than be enslaved by taxation.

Are we there yet?


You know, the other day some asshole pulled into my driveway, used a bolt cutter on two locks used to secure my trailer and drove away with it.

I have the same disgust for Obama voters. They vote for People who will point a gun at me and steal my property. Ignorance is no longer an excuse.

I was ready when Clinton was elected.

So, the federal government can now mandate commerce; they simply need to represent it is a negative tax: Buy this or else get taxed. So much for the US Constitution.

The US Supreme Court also ruled recently that all property is subject to confiscation to be sold for profit of the government with the owner getting what the government decides to give them. Combined with this ruling the property owner can now be taxed the entire amount of the proceeds and receive nothing.

We are now literal slaves to the government.

Since the federal government refuses to obey the constitution we should too! REVOLT!!!

[Reaganite Republican]

Of course, they know the bill is a disaster

What The Street likes is CERTAINTY... and it just wasn’t over today, or side will now be on fire to get it repealed... but that will take awhile

[Electric Graffiti]

In the future you MUST be a DEMOCRAT and VOTING for DEMOCRATS if you want MEDICAL SERVICES.....mark my words

Yes, this is how the left stays in permanent power. See Europeeon Hellcare.

Regardless, we can be comforted by the fact that our next kidney transplant will be done by the man behind the counter at the Department of Motor Vehicles. {P.J. O'Rourke}

Roberts’ mentor is the most ditinguished conservative judge on the DC Appeals, Laurence Silberman. Silberman is a friend and peer of Scalia and voted to uphold the mandate as a power under the Commerce Clause when it came before that court. He was appointed,IIRC, by President Reagan.

Only if they are over 26 years old. Otherwise, their poor, and getting poorer by the minute, parents pay for everything.

Since the federal government refuses to obey the constitution we should too! REVOLT!!!

***

Revolt invites ...

1) martial law
2) invasion by outside powers

So ...

1) pray with faith, forgiving all
2) vote

This isn’t about the healthcare law. This is about the court ruling that the government has the right to tell you what to buy or else they can now take your money and buy it.

Besides, your vote doesn’t mean squat to anyone. The system is so corrupt that voting hasn’t done anything to turn this around. Hell, there are so many illegal aliens, dead people, and fake people voting that your vote is squelched by theirs. We’ve been voting for decades to change this. It hasn’t worked. It is time for something else.

[ROTB]

1) Romans 13 says governments are ordained by God.

2) The government is corrupt, because Christians are divorcing, not sharing the faith, running after money, into porn, and not showing God’s power.

We deserve this. Rebellion and revolt just means what I already said piled on what we have now. It is the end of the USA.

Your call.

Obama is not “the brightest” in ANY room, imo- he never seemed intelligent to me, just average... I never hear anything clever come out of that mouth, do you?

BUT he enjoys incredible LUCK... the kind a deal with the Devil will do for you

[ Obama is brighest man in the room.

He is the Chess Master. He has been playing chess with conservatives, our constitution, our country now it is Checkmate on America. Bye-Bye American Pie. A sad day was when this abomination of a man set foot in our White House and put his feet up on our desk. ]

The people BEHIND Obama are the brightest folks in the room.

They are the Chess Masters. They have been playing chess with conservatives, our constitution, our country now it is Checkmate on America. Bye-Bye American Pie. A sad day was when this abomination of a man set foot in our White House and put his feet up on our desk to do the biddng of the socialists.

There fixed it!

It doesn’t help that a lot of the GOP is “go along to get along” types who want to be popular with the media and not conservative.

That’s why they all have to go if we are to have any chance of saving America from the liberal/socialists/communists/marxists. No more playing nice. Mr. “0” wanted division and partisanship - he got what he asked for. I said “check mate” I shoulda said “check” - we got the checkmate coming in November and beyond. The shouldn’t mess with real America. That’s my opinion.
