The government could require us to dine OUT rather than at home as dining in has a negative effect on commerce.
By destroying competition, and using fixed pricing Obama”care” violates anti-trust laws.
Here is the problem as I see it.
If he didn’t grow wheat, for his family or for commerce, would he be penalized for not growing it?
That’s the problem with Obamacare. If I do not want healthcare or need healthcare, why shuld I be penalized for it.
Now I would take it a step further and reall screw up the SCOTUS. If I do not have kids I nschool, why should I pay property taxes?
I is dead (Hopeful)
A mandate is merely a dictate. Thus, if we are dictated to, do we then live under a Dictatorship?
If our freedom of choice is taken from us by the dictates of a hostile Federal government, then what Liberty do we have left?
Obamacare is not about health care. It’s about murdering people and becoming a dictator. I hope the Supreme Court does the right thing and throws it out. It is dangerous and so are the people that illegally put it in.
A Dem government would require you to think only pure thoughts because impure thoughts lead to crime and have a negative effect on commerce.
But, because all Dems think about is Race, Social Justice, Abortion, Death, Taxes, and Tyranny, all their thoughts are intrinsically impure.
Ergo, can we permanently lock up all Dems and throw away the key?
The yoke of Wickard needs to be thrown from our shoulders.
In my dreams, the Supremes not only knock down ObamaCare but reverse Filburn as well.
If this week's arguments are any indication, then the statist's response would be that because it is proven that lack of education contributes to a whole slew of social woes, which affect commerce(crime and destruction of wealth)and that you will eventually interact with society, at some point in your life, then you are responsible for paying for government mandated education; for the greater good.
Hope that clears it up, comrade.
Regardless of the # number of kids you have, including zero, why is the burden of educating them the responsibility of property owners?
Madison:
With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators.
This applies to ANY clause in the Constitution that the left uses to justify government expansion.
“General Welfare”, “Necessary and Proper”, “Interstate Commerce”, etc.
I'm on SS. Every month they take out $100 for Part B and I also buy a supplement. So much for the joys of Medicare....and all the years I paid into it BEFORE I semi retired.
Pssst....Part B was $3.00 a month when it started..a typical hour's pay.
“Hope that clears it up, comrade. “
Yes tovarishch, that cleared things up.
Sowell is great, but the 10th Amendment does not say “explicitly.”
Why does it need to say “explicitly”?
Well then government could mandate that we have to eat Obama Peas with a spoon, less we drop one from a fork and injure our health...
There was a time a few decades ago when Congress looked into imputing a rental income on home owners so as to tax that iputed income, on the premise that if they did not live in their own home they would be renting it and earning an income. Therefore, they should be treated as if they were paying themselves a rent for living in their own home.
