Roberts also established that the government can call anything a tax and compel compliance with social diktat using the IRS.
In no fewer than 17 places in this monstrosity of a bill ( I am not defending the bill, just the ruling ) this “penalty” is called a tax.
During sworn testimony, the fubo lawyer called it a tax.
It is a tax.
Period.
Is it a legal tax?
We will have to wait until someone actually has to pay it in order to appeal it.
One thing is for sure, with thousands of exemptions written into it, it is not fair or equitable, as required under the constitution. It will not stand as written.
Either it will go away, or the exempted parties will have their exemptions revoked.
But, we will not know until someone is actually damaged by it (has to pay it).
Like I said, stop listening to the talking heads on A.M. radio, and think for a moment.
Independent thought is highly refreshing. I recommend it.
