I have been pondering the declaration that the cost penalty is actually a tax.
I agree with your point re taxes are supposed to be levied equally...and how can that now be with all of the exemption crowds being exempted. And the exemptions are being handed out by the Executive branch.
Second point, don’t all tax bills and budgets supposedly first need to initiated in the House of Reps?
In my eyes all of these exemptions are invalid and just another piece of the mess of this sloppy over-reach of power.
Heard one of the attorneys who represented the states on Bill Bennett's show on Friday and he said that the way it was written that it took pieces from a bill that originated in the House so it meets that guideline.
Furthermore, what about all the religious exemptions? Muslims, and others, don’t have to participate, but Catholic institutions have to provide free abortions and contraceptives for their employees. I just don’t understand how Roberts could have voted to sustain this.
