How Obama Might Use the Constitution to Arrest the Tea Party

 Supreme Court Health Care

It is one thing to overturn ObamaCare should we be fortunate enough to A) Have an election (yeah, you heard me), B) Get a GOP President, C) Get a CONSERVATIVE House that will hold Boehner accountable as Speaker to not cave as he did on the budget ceiling debate, and D) get at least 51 votes in the Senate.

But how do we rectify the insane “precedent” set out by Roberts that the judiciary has the right to reclassify – even create – a “tax” that was never written in the original law?   Or that you can now be “taxed” for a behavior instead of an economic activity.  A current or future liberal congress would tax you going to church or NOT going to a “diversity” class.

We continue to expose just how disconnected the conservative elite are from the rest of us.  Supposed “conservatives,” George Will and Charles Krauthammer, try to explain how this makes political sense - either for the future Court or for the GOP.  Krauthammer goes as far to call it “the great constitutional finesses of all time.”  Sure, if by giving government the right to tax behavior instead of economic transactions “constitutional” I suppose it is ‘great.’  So would “finessing” the lack of ANY documentation for a member of the Marxist New Party to stay unchallenged as being Constitutionally eligible to be President would be.  And don’t get me started on the ability of a “conservative” judge to see the word “tax” where it isn’t even written, debated or passed into law by the representatives of the American people when ....

Disqualify Obama for not being born in the United States and ObamaCare falls and Kegan and Sotomayor are tossed off the court.

Also a precendent to overturn, you are being taxed for NOT buying something.

Taxes are levied on things you buy or services provided.

They are taxing you for NOTHING you have bought.

How the hell do you tax NOTHING?

I go to the grocery store and as I am checking out, the checker says “I see you didn’t buy Pepsi.” “Yes that’s right.” “You have to pay a tax if you don’t buy Pepsi.” “WTF?!?!”

Same damn thing here.

Obama is hiring 5000 new IRS agents.

You guess who they will go after?

They could have done a tax to pay for universal health insurance, and you could get a tax credit for having your own. But they didn't do that.

The tax is also not dependent on income. If a Republican tried it, the Left would have screamed about "Regressive Taxation!"

He is spot on. It is up to we the people to police the government. They are simply a necessary evil in order to protect the citizenry, but their powers should never really go beyond that point. The government was never meant to police our behaviors.

They are now truly out of our control and it will take more than a few elections to fix the problems that have been created.

We also have a huge problem with a dependent class who feel entitled to use the government to enslave to rest of us and force us to pay the price for their choices and behavior.

Yep. You guess who will give their money to Dems for every freaking liberal cause there is?

“I go to the grocery store”

You can be taxed for that. And for not going.
You can be taxed for walking. For starting your car. For driving with Air Conditioning. Or heat. Or with your windows down. Or for walking.

I can be taxed for blogging, thinking, moving my fingers, reading, hearing, seeing....

I am. Therefore I can be taxed.

What’s he gonna do? Haul off old ladies, small business owners, veterans and football moms off to jail? The Tea Party is nothing but All-American citizens who are going to quietly crawl over broken glass to vote his commie a$$ out come November.

Not if we are chipped and reprogrammed...made felons or terrorists, or, killed—at which point we’ll vote for the Kenyan.

At least the original Tea Party was able to throw tea into Boston Harbor. What do we have to throw into the harbor?
