“The rejection of the Commerce Clause and Nec. and Proper Clause should be understood as a major blow to Congress’s authority to pass social welfare laws. Using the tax code — especially in the current political environment — to promote social welfare is going to be a very chancy proposition.”
Lets remember all the Dems on TV saying “It’s not a tax”.
Seems to me CONGRESS now has to rewrite it since this was sold under false pretenses.
Either way, NO ONE wants the tax increase. It looks bad, and it is, but there still may be a silver lining here. Before this ‘tax’ gets implemented, there’s an election and NO ‘congresspersons’ will campaign on “I’m gonna tax you $2000”.
