Great. Bump!
Just had an interesting thought about this case. If the government truly can mandate a citizen to purchase a good or service, then their really is no limit. They could mandate that you buy practically anything.
If that is true, and Obamacare is upheld, then I sure hope the next republican President mandates that every citizen buy a gun (don’t worry, they wouldn’t even know how to load it), because we know how much liberals hate those. Maybe the government should order the public to purchase subscriptions to Rush 24/7? I wonder if it would be good SOCIAL POLICY to require everyone to buy gas-guzzling SUVs because Americans need to have big automobiles for their own protection. After all, Government knows best!
