Well, if we are going to live in a “any and all taxes are fair game” system, then I’m going to have to go stealth and defend my personal finances against the thieves. I used to have a moral objection to tax cheating; I now no longer feel that way.

I have long felt that it is the patriotic duty of every American to pay as little in taxes as the law allows.

But I think the Constitutionality of such a tax is still subject to debate - but via the law - one must first PAY the tax to have standing to challenge the tax.

16th Amendment: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

Is the 0bamacare tax a tax on income? If a business or individual lost money that year - can they be taxed via a “fine” on income they didn't earn?
