Before President Barack Obama took over the White House, no United States citizen had ever been forced by the federal government to buy a product against their will. But now, thanks to the passage of Obamacare, Americans, by dint of their mere existence, are now required to purchase Obama administration approved health insurance or face a penalty assessed through the Internal Revenue Code. This is simply unprecedented. The income tax doesnt kick in until an American earns income. Auto liability insurance doesnt become mandated until an American chooses to drive (and even then its only by the state).

Actually NYS passed a law last year requiring all building owners whose property is heated by oil or gas to have a carbon monoxide detector. I understand the requirement for landlords, but this requires owners of one family homes to do the same. I’ve had detectors since they appeared for sale, and I would advise any homeowner to have one, but to mandate it is just another example of life today in these United States, where individual Liberty is becoming a faded glory of the past.

I will not get on the cattle car. We know where it is headed.
“Before President Barack Obama took over the White House, no United States citizen had ever been forced by the federal government to buy a product against their will.”
The Militia Act of 1792 required enrollment in the militia and that the enrollees provide themselves with arms and equipment. Whether or not they were “forced by the federal government to buy a product against their will” might be a matter of interpretation.
