“The Affordable Care Act’s requirement that certain individuals pay a financial penalty for not obtaining health insurance may reasonably be characterized as a tax,” wrote Chief Justice John Roberts, in his majority opinion. “Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness.”
A financial penalty for not buying something is a tax? How so?
How does the Constitution permit such a tax? What was his reasoning?
It appears to me that the SC rewrote the legislation.
It's economic fascism.
Roberts stabbed the Great Republic through the heart today. THAT is his legacy.
