I brought this point up in a thread yesterday:
How can a regulatory agency (HHS) grant waivers to a “tax” imposed by Congress (to follow the SCOTUS interpretation)?
The exemptions require immediate challenge. Could the Dept. of Agriculture begin granting waivers to personal income tax? Could the EPA begin granting waivers to capital gains taxes? If the mandate is in fact a tax, how can a gov’t agency grant waivers to said tax? Not even the IRS can do so - an act of Congress is required.
........For once, I was ahead on something!
Robert Clark....asks questions also..
