Actually the bill labels it as a tax:

Subdivision A - Affordable Healthcare Choices
Title IV -Amendments to Internal Revenue Code of 1986
Subtitle A - Shared Responsibility
Part 1 - Individual Responsibility
Sec. 401: "Tax on Individuals Without Acceptable Health Care Coverage"

Any number of reasons.

Civillians will not defeat the us military.

Civillians do not have any organization.

Civillians are not trained as soldiers and police are trained.

The government can interecpt every single communication made in the country.

The us government could choose to use chemical and biological weapons against us.

I could go on and on, really.

Then we die for our cause.

“give me liberty or give me death” come to mind?

I am not suggesting we go straight to war. It’s the last resort.

well... I guess you could just give up. Failure is always an option.

Yes, it most certainly does come to mind, and I expect that is what will happen.

Yes.. It has. However, you don’t have to stop at failure. We lost a battle. Not the war.

What we lost was our freedom.

It’s gone.

Yes, you can still go to a movie on Friday evening and order a pizza.

But the government now controls what counts, and that is any aspect of our behavior or non-bahavior that they choose to control, and they will choose all.

So that is it? parties over? Have a good night?

Sorry.. I have kids. There is no way in hell I will just lay down and allow our freedom to be gone forever. They deserve better.
