The Constitution states clearly that direct taxes shall be apportioned.

An ObamaCare tax falls on the individual as a direct tax. It is NOT apportioned.

It is CLEARLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

The constitution is now dead. The government, not restrained in power by any limits, is tyrannical and illegitimate.

“The Constitution states clearly that direct taxes shall be apportioned. An ObamaCare tax falls on the individual as a direct tax.It is NOT apportioned.It is CLEARLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL.”

The Sixteenth Amendment made the apportionment rule inapplicable to income taxes, including taxes on income derived from property, by providing that Congress has the power to tax incomes from any source without having to apportion the tax by population.

Because people through their employers and corporations and self-employed individuals receive an income tax deduction for their health insurance premiums and buy health insurance with additional tax benefits and this is all administered through the IRS which collects income taxes, the ObamaCare Tax is not a direct tax and does not need to be apportioned, therefore; it is clearly not unconstitutional.
