Think about this...the govt. can only tax something you buy. If you do not buy anything and it is not a penalty, they cannot tax nothing.

I understand. I still don’t buy it. They’ll find a way to get it, for example by denying you something until you pay, similar to suspending your license till you pay your parking tickets. You’ll have a trip to Italy planned and purchased and all of a sudden, your passport is suspended when you’re at the airport. Something along those lines.
The federal govt under the 16th amendment can only tax you if you have income, such as a refund. However, the weasel words regulations surrounding this law are X10 the size of the law and have not yet been fully examined. I'm certain they've moved the goal posts.
You HAVE to buy, or pay a penalty. Forget the tax part. BUY or PENALTY.
What?
The Income Tax is a tax on income, it is NOT a tax on “something you buy”.
