Today the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Federal Government can tax citizens because they exist, not because they earn income, but because they exist. There are no limits on the amount we can be taxed to exist.

We are all now officially slaves owned by and for the U.S. Federal Government

Anyone who has health care with an employer just lost it today. Your employer will pay the fine and you will be dumped into the health care pool. Your salary will go up little to none, but your taxes will go up big time to pay for all the deadbeats. The hard working poeple just lost big time! I just hope the unions also are subject to be dumped in the pool with the rest of us!

Drudge seems to want to make this about Roberts. Roberts should say it like it is: congress passed the law, not me. Be mad at congress, not the court.

Yup. Now the government can force any behave. “Buy and eat brocolli or face a tax.”

I have never been more ashamed of my country. Today my country is dead to me.

Long live Texas!

Roberts betrayed us.

Kennedy wanted to strike the whole thing down.

Kennedy said the whole thing is unconstitutional which it is.

Bush should have picked Janice Rogers Brown.

We need a 2nd revolution. This is tyranny

This is why elections count. To all the imbeciles who stayed at home and allowed this socialist would be dictator to become president; how do you like the new taxes that are being crammed down your throat?

Nobody knows how hard they are being hammered by this outrage. We have been effectively raped by our own government.

Eyes dim, the beacon of freedom wanes, and our mettle suffers a stinging lash... Now, gather yourselves troops. Gird your loins and prepare. Tyrants need to lie sleepless in their beds yet again. The spirit of 1776 must be retained at all costs. What is required? Nothing. Sit on your hands. Stop supporting the machine. Stop enabling the federal government with your dollars. If you love freedom, stop paying your masters. Idiots!!!!! They are using the sweat of your brow to buy your chains!

“If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
- Samuel Adams

The only problem that Liberals have with the history of chattel slavery in the America is that the slaves were privately owned.

When they tax income they take part of the income. When they tax property they either get money or take all or part of the property. If they tax me for existing and I don’t have income or property, do they take part of me? Well good bye kidney or whatever. How many people will not have anything to pay? Guess who will make up the difference. All we have here is Medicare extended to everyone from day one. And once a program like this starts it grows and grows. OTOH, I’m already paying for those who can’t so what’s gonna change?

The law was not written or constructed with the mandate as a tax. If the mandate is a tax then the law should have to be rewritten and sent back through the process. Written as a mandate the law is now invalid. Try to get it through as a tax.

If not, then slaves have risen up throughout history. It might be time for civil disobedience and whatever else needed to remove the entire population of politicians from their perches. Enough of this crap. If representatives no longer represent us then let them be removed.

Next rule should be a tax on people based on their behavior, the behavior being that each person must purchase weapons suitable for defense of their community and sufficient ammunition to sustain them in a prolonged fight.

The tax would be imposed on all who refuse to openly carry those weapons when they are on public property.

Under the court ruling, this is not a use of the commerce clause, but merely a tax by the government, just like the Obamacare mandate.

The powers that be have decreed that all human behavior is subject to the power of the government to direct the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the homes we buy, the products we consume.

The founding fathers would be sick today, that the natural rights of man may be given by God as a condition of being human, but the US Government can take away what God has given us, thus putting themselves above God.

I pray for our nation, but the tip[ping point has now been passed.

Not enough people believe in the founder’s principles.

Political philosophy is no longer an examination of the great ideas of the enlightenment, but a grab for assets earned and created by others, and the methods by which the people can be controlled.

Welcome to all, my name is Thrall.

That’s right - Government can dictate whatever it wants.

Dictatorship is constitutional... so long as it’s through the tax code.

They haven’t said yet whether the States can opt out of this. They are going to collect on this mandate via tax returns. Everyone needs to, like I do, set up their W-4’s so that you either get no refund or have to pay a little. It’s time to stand up and revolt. This cannot stand and don’t count on any help from Congress either.

It’s time to start viewing the federal government with hostility.
