during the townhall here, the local demhole Eric Massa was asked this question. he made a big show about it, pulled out a copy of the Constitution and read the "general welfare clause" and said that gave Congress the authority to do so.

Now he's either ignorant, or a liar (probably an ignorant liar). In the Federalist papers, Madison (or Monroe, can never remember which) specifically and explicitly said this clause does NOT give Congress the authority to do whatever it wants to make life comfy for all.

besides, if these gangsters can make me buy health insurance under the threat of the IRS and jailtime, what's to stop theses criminals from forcing me to buy a car from the UAW or face a fine or jailtime?
