Congress does not have the power to tax people not doing something the way Roberts says they did here.

When they tax people for doing nothing more than sitting in their homes (and not getting up and going out and buying an insurance policy) that is a direct tax on people.

Congress is not empowered to lay direct taxes on people for not doing anything, UNLESS those taxes are apportioned among the states.

“Congress does not have the power to tax people not doing something the way Roberts says they did here.”

Your right, but see my post #13. It’s premature to say the tax is unconstitutional until THAT goes before the supreme court. That can’t and won’t happen until there is an injured party and it is appealed and goes through the courts...
