It’s a tax on being rich.

No, wait, it’s a tax on being poor.

Well, it might better be called a tax on having income.

Actually, it’s a tax on being so stupid you go to work for some company that doesn’t offer health insurance.

That’s it! It’s a tax on being stupid.

Wait a minute, starting to sound more like it’s a tax on working and trying to support yourself and NOT relying on the government!

It might be a tax on not paying the penalty...

Or a tax on breathing...

Or a tax on trying to stay healthy. (Me personally, except for the dentist, I haven’t been in a doctors office for the last 20 years...)...

But if it’s a tax on people being healthy and not needing doctors, does that mean it’s just a tax on people who don’t complain?

It’s a direct tax, subject to apportionment.

It’s an indirect tax, subject to uniformity. Wait! If it’s supposed to be uniform, (which it ain’t) then it must be direct.

Roberts is either a traitor to the Constitution or he is a genius.

If they want to enforce this thing as a tax, trust me, it’ll be a long, long time before it get’s clarified to the point that it can go into effect.

Both. It is Cloward and Piven from the RIGHT. Roberts took liberalism and constitutional deconstruction to its ultimate conclusion in one leap. The frogs noticed the heat rise.

It is a poll tax and there has been nothing like poll taxes in history to foment revolutions, from the Jewish Revolt against Rome to the toppling of Margaret Thatcher.
