(Washington, D.C., 6/29/12) A giddy Nancy Pelosi today heaped praise upon the Supreme Court ruling that now allows the Federal Government to not only tax what Americans do, but also what they don't do. Her joy at this ruling was evident in the statement she released early this morning:
"In the past, Congress has had to power to tax Americans on only what they've done. We now have the power to tax what they don't do. Imagine the possibilities. If you don't buy healthy fruits and vegetables at the supermarket we want you to buy, we can tax that. If you buy food that has too much sodium, food we don't want you to buy, we can tax that. If you drive a vehicle that gets under 25 mpg, we can tax that. If you don't buy an electric vehicle, we can tax that. If you don't register your weapon(s), we can tax that. If a state opts out of Obamacare, we can significantly tax that. We can now legally collect taxes on anything we want, in any amount we want. The funds will be flowing into the treasury, easing or erasing, the U.S. debt problem."
"In other words, we now have the ability to dictate the behaviour of every single American alive, or who will be. None of these future taxes will be levied lightly, but in all honesty, we do know best".
When a reporter asked her about states rights and why they should be taxed for not implementing Obamacare, she replied, "Are you serious? Are you serious?"

Dope-Pelosi further removes all doubt of her stupidity.
Pelosi puts the Ding in Dingbat.

CAn you provide a link to where this quote was reported?
I can’t find it listed anywhere.
Nevermind.
This reminds me of the Matrix movie. We are the matrix and they are the system that lives off of us. I found this quote on the movie. It describes the average democrat voter.
" You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it."
Analysts, according to The Wall Street Journal, say the weak economy is causing less energy use, resulting in falling oil prices. So basically the worse the economy is, the lower the price of oil. Do you know what that means? If Obama gets re-elected, gas could be free. ~Jay Leno
