How is this even Constitutional?

Seems like a precursor to a VAT - if they can tax something that clearly lies outside Federal jurisdiction, they can tax anything.

I think the logic is, it’s a sin tax like cigarettes & alcohol. Next will be fast food or anything deemed to be unhealthy.

yes. that is their intention. tax anything and everything.

a service oriented business that does not cross state lines... how does the fed believe it has jurisdiction?

because they want it. and who’s going to stop them? if 2.5m people standing on the steps of congress screaming doesn’t deter them, do you think any amount of discussion or whining will? hell no.

and if you think the fact that it’s unConstitutional would matter to these people, you are sadly mistaken.

and if you think some cute voting will change things... ROTFLMAO ... they stuffed the boxes in 17 states last time... and were caught by the FBI... at which point 0bama discontinued any investigations once he took office.

cheat big enough, wide enough, and you will be assured to have the power to stop any and all investigations. that’s the 0bama way.
