You had it right the first time. Roberts ruled it was a tax.
Well, at least that lobs it square down the Tea Party’s alley. OK, it’s a tax. Protest it as such.
And what a brobdingnagian tax it is... I mean spirit of 1776 where are you, yoo hoo! (Hint: it was GOSPEL POWERED)
That’s what I was trying to explain to some fascists - oh excuse me: “Democrats” that the real reason this scam Obamacare exists is it now gives the government a direct avenue to full blown communism. The Obamacare rates will go through the roof - if they aren’t through the roof already - and as a result Joe Middle class is not going to be able to afford it, and eventually just about everybody is going to owe fines which will increase exponentially every year until you have the majority of the country owing tens of thousands of dollars in fines....only it’s not fines. It’s taxes and what happens when you owe a sh*t load of taxes? The IRS steps in with liens, possessions etc...walla - you have financial collectivism, redistribution - communism 101. Everybody will be working for the government as slaves except for the government elites and the very rich just like it is/was in every commie country in history and liberals will blame Republicans for it.
