Really? I mean no we have the legal word from On High (the Supreme Court) that the government can (a) force us to buy a product, (b) place punitive fines-as-taxes on us for not doing something, and (c) own the fruit of your labors, even outside of the country, which is something the US has in common with North Korea.
No, it can not force you to buy a product. It can force you to pay a tax, under conditions set by the government.
Whether it should, to what level, or under what conditions, honest people may disagree.
Please, you’re being ridiculous . You really think having to pay taxes makes living here like living in North Korea? I worked with a husband and wife who escaped North Korea years ago. The wife had no problem talking about what it was like, how eating rats was a ‘’delicacy’’. The husband wouldn’t open his mouth at all, he was still scared to talk, even living here in the US. You haven’t got a clue as to what it’s like and apparently no clue as to how good we have it here.
