People ought to be boiling mad.
ObamaCare was bad enough, but now Roberts and the four liberals have held that Congress may, in direct contravention of the text of the Constitution, impose a DIRECT TAX on any group of people they don’t like, in particular, people who don’t carry health insurance.
How about a tax on people who HAVEN’T purchased government bonds in their retirement accounts? Obama could push more debt out the door.
How about a tax on people on who HAVEN’T purchased Obama’s (or is it Ayers’?) book? Surely the government has an interest in combating societal racism by seeing to it that everyone has Zero’s book.
How about a tax on people who don’t send their kids to the government schools? That should put the nail in the coffin of home-schooling.
All of these should be blatantly unconstitutional, but they’re not thanks to Roberts.
I expect that the doctors who leave medicine for other careers because of Obamacare will be taxed for NOT practicing their profession.
I don't get something here. Virtually nobody in FR had any kind of problem at all when the feds and states started directly taxing smokers to their i-teeth to make them stop.
Why the sudden fury that the govt is going to directly tax people to modify their behavior for other causes?
We kept telling you all that if they could do it to us, they'll find reasons to do it to the rest of you eventually as well. But would anyone listen? nooooooooo
Welcome to the party pals!
