Thanks for posting this. Peter Schiff is brilliant.
Everyone of us should watch this. He eviscerates this ruling, shows just how far from the Constitution Roberts had to stray to make his traitorous ruling, and even provides some strategies for challenging it.
If you think of the individual mandate like .... something similar to the marriage penalty then you can see how Roberts found this constitutional.
Everyone married who chooses not to get divorced pays in effect a marriage penalty on their choice to not get divorced in the form of a higher tax rate. This is an existing example of people getting taxed on inaction.
The government is in affect mandating that everyone remain single and anyone who chooses to get married must pay a penalty.
Nothing is bought or sold, and yet no one claims that the government can't tax couples a higher rate than individuals.
Thanks for the link to Mr. Schiff’s commentary. Very timely as usual.
What a shame Connecticut didn’t see fit to send him to DC.
