That’s putting the best face on it, but I think when people cool off a little they will see that there is some good that could come from this. No longer will the dems be able to say it isn’t a tax. and if many states opt out, the whole program will go belly up. Kind of cool actually...
“but I think when people cool off a little they will see that there is some good that could come from this.”
Put down the crack pipe.
So instead of just killing the bill he not only breathes life into it by calling it a tax, he opens the door for us to be taxed over EVERYTHING (like breathing) and that’s a good thing?
This was BAD, BAD, BAD.
That's pretty small consolation, as long as the law is in effect.
What this says is that the government can force any actions they want through the power of taxation. And there's no way to say that this isn't a win for tyranny.
I’m trying hard to remember the name of some movie from the mid-1980s, in which a terrorist/robber corners a man, kidnaps (then releases based on ransom) his wife, and demands the man’s car.
The man says OK, you can have the car.
So the thief gets in, gloating, thinking he’s pulled a fast one.
Then the man, as he is walking away, activates a remote device.
The doors to the car lock. The thief can’t undo them. He panics and hammers on the windows and yells to be let out.
Then the man activates the remote device again, and the car blows up.
What was the name of that movie?
