Obama Care, How Will Be Judged On Thursday?

[Byron In Exile]

"Matt: Ilya Somin at Volokh Conspiracy: Although the Supreme Court upheld the individual mandate as an exercise of the Tax Power, a majority of the justices also ruled that it is not a legitimate exercise of Congress’ powers under the Commerce Clause. In doing so, they endorsed the plaintiffs’ argument that the individual mandate exceeds the scope of the Commerce power because it does not regulate “economic activity,” but instead targets inactivity."

Excellent spin.

I hope you find comfort in that.

This was an enlightening morning.

Apparently, Congress can tax people based upon anything.

They can boost your taxes if you don't eat foods from the fundamental food groups which they determine are necessary for your good health, because otherwise, since the rest of us are now obligated to pay for your health care, you're costing us all money.

They can add a special tax if you don't keep your toenails trimmed, too.

And if they decide to tax you at 110% of your income, well... you'll just have to find a way to borrow that extra 10% plus whatever you need to live on.

The idea is to kick the can back to the Congress, forcing them to raise taxes or STFU. Congress cant claim its a fee or penalty or anything but a tax, and all the dimbos who havent paid attention will now wonder A TAX? WTF!

And who's to say Congress cant tax you a dollar if you dont buy an $8000 policy. Bet the farm Congress aint gonna poke Wal-Mart's ass with a stiff tax.

 

[Byron In Exile]

That's right, boy, keep posturin'......

Maybe someday you'll be able to distinguish between a "fact" and an "opinion".

Today, however, is NOT that day!

You are a silly person.

 

[Adre]

Quit being a dummy.

Good argument

“IRS The New Health Care Enforcer"

Pregzactly.

 

[busybody..]

So now McConnell is interested in reforming healthcare? Bullshit. Where's he and his ilk been for the last decade?

Still A DRECK...........stop with the DUMOH SHIT

 

[Adre]

Still A DRECK...........stop with the DUMOH SHIT

Quit your bullshit. Answer the question with a cogent thought!

 

[busybody..]

Here is what will happen

The Congress cannot take away any of the "good parts", they WONT pay for it

They will find a "crwative" way to pay for it......and keep the "good stuff" and avoid the "tax"......and they wont be around own the road when the SHIT HITS THE FAN

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

"I'm sure they'll nail us on taxes and I'm sure it will work," said a senior White House official speaking on condition of anonymity. "But, given the alternative, that's a bitter pill I'm ready to swallow."

 

[Byron In Exile]

Excellent spin.

I hope you find comfort in that.

That's not spin, that's an accurate assessment.

And, it is and ought to be comforting to every American.

Even you.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Least we were right about the Commerce Clause.

We got lucky. But its closed the door on future efforts to force Americans to buy Volts, and Hillary bios, and broccoli.

So, Rob... is it bliss?

No, it didn't, actually.

You can have your income tax cut if you buy a Volt, or increased if you fail to buy broccoli.

It's a good day for America
...and a not-so-good day for the Tea Party and armchair Constitutional experts such as yourself.

So, yeah, I'm happy. Think: Best Case Scenario.

 

[Byron In Exile]

The next thing will be "Income Tax Coupons" at the grocery store.

For healthy foods, of course... double-plus good!

You don't know me from fuck.

It's a great day for me, actually.

You can still grow your own Chee-Tos.

 

[Byron In Exile]

Listen up,

I bash you often, its intended as fun

I know that, and I take it that way.

Hope you know that...

You are clearly one of the brighter people here

Well, thanks! I'll go out on a limb at great risk to my already-worthless "Lit-rep" and say I think you are, too.

When you argue with UD, you diminsh yourself

Y'know, I don't think so. Not really. It's quite clear he has nothing of value to contribute to any discussion about anything, and it's my belief that our exchanges highlight that fact.

 

[Johnny_Ray_Wilson]

You say I -am- Rory, dumbass. Enjoy your fake Lupus, at least you've learned to spell your "condition." Oh yeah, as an employer, I have no problem with this system. Are you still employing young boys to "fix your fence", Mr. Sandusky?

On second thought. Do not bother waiting for Obama Care to take care of you. Go directly to the toilet, insert head below water level, and flush. It will do wonders for your eyesight as well. That shit stain on your nose from RoryN's ass seems to suit you fine.

 

[zipman]

Yeah, it's not like the law can be, you know, repealed by Congress or anything, the same way it was passed by Congress.


I am very surprised it was 5-4 with Roberts on the "left." I would wager we haven't had that breakdown in any case since he's been on the Court.

Damn Liberals!

 

[TexasWife25]

While I think the mandate was a good idea, the notion of the government taxing us for not buying something .. is a little shady.
