Today is The Day U.S. Citizens Became Slaves of Their Government
Self | 6/28/2012 | Self

Posted on 06/28/2012 7:34:44 AM PDT by catnipman

Today the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Federal Government can tax citizens because they exist, not because they earn income, but because they exist. There are no limits on the amount we can be taxed to exist.

We are all now officially slaves owned by and for the U.S. Federal Government.

It only took 3% the first time, right? What’s 3% of 305 million... Of course, most police departments are militarized now, there are RFIDs all over, 30,000 drones they could deploy, cameras in every small town, and tracking of our every movement.

It’s time to start viewing the federal government with hostility.

Hostility?...These rat bastards take it way beyond hostility...

IT’s like any coke head, it runs out of options eventually and the depression depens.

Obama knows it, he is a coke head, he knows where this is headed, he is going to quicken.

FR might be the last option, but they will try to hide that stuff, the good stuff from us, and they will manufacture some kind of cataclysm to make people believe things are bad because times are bad.

That is what this monsterous decision has done to our once great nation. The Republic crafted by those brilliant and inspired men is now ashes.

And mocked the sacrifice of those who shed their blood in defense of the Great Republic.

It is now the biggest tax in American history!!!
You are right, BUT, everything now depends on what the Republicans do. Everything.

The ball is clearly in our court.

My condolences to all of you, who know what died today. The Supreme Court majority's verbal prestidigitation means that a fine can now be called a tax. It implies that FedGov can 'tax' absolutely anything as long as it doesn't involve jail time, so any kind of behaviour can be compelled through fines relabeled 'taxes'. The only thin reed left between FedGov and complete power over the people of the United States is the recognition (so far, anyway) that jail time isn't a 'tax'.

I wish I could offer solace, but the the proper words elude me. You guys have this Canuck's profound sympathy.

I love how “grains” are HUGE as well as “Fruits”, which means over 50% of your diet is supposed to be starches and Michelle is whining about obesity.

The government food pyramid that has been forced down ALL our throats is one of the horrible CAUSES of the Obesity epidemic along with cheap WIC and WELFARE food programs.

Dumbass Hypocrits all of them.

“And I for one will act as any slave would; they will only get the bare minimum out of me. It’s off to Galt’s Gulch.”

As they used to say in the old Soviet Union, “They pretend to pay me and I pretend to work.”

If you think the Repubs will do anything more than give lip service to this you’re delusional. They haven’t done a single thing to stop any of Obama’s take-over, what makes you think this will be any different. We the people have to step up, through whatever means necessary to get our country back.

“So now our Government can tax on nothing?”

More than that, they can use the tax code as a penal code, penalizing citizens for their behavioral and economic choices. In a sense, progressive taxation already does this and the code has been used for a long time for social and economic engineering but this is something not done before: we’ll tax you for doing nothing.

[ Everyone should calm down. Roberts Et all made it a tax! Obama is screwed!!! Also states can opt out without penalty. Roberts is wicked smart. Gave Obama his wish, by attaching a tax to his name. ]

So ObamaCare© just became the ObamaTax©

Obama is going to HAVE to declare Martian Law to be “sworn in by Ginsburg” in 2013.... at this rate.

So, the federal government can now mandate commerce; they simply need to represent it is a negative tax: Buy this or else get taxed. So much for the US Constitution.

The US Supreme Court also ruled recently that all property is subject to confiscation to be sold for profit of the government with the owner getting what the government decides to give them. Combined with this ruling the property owner can now be taxed the entire amount of the proceeds and receive nothing.

We are now literal slaves to the government.

Since the federal government refuses to obey the constitution we should too! REVOLT!!!

“I think I’ll vote for Zero; the sooner the country implodes and goes full CW2, the better.”

Well, it’s not like Romney and the Grand Old RINO party have the strength of character necessary to reverse any of the damage Obama has done, so yeah, maybe it’s better to just destroy it all as quickly as possible with the hope the Phoenix can rise sooner (assuming it will rise at all).
