It’s not ObamaCare, it’s how the taxing power has been expanded.

Don’t maintain your weight or exercise? Pay a tax.

Don’t want to take certain courses in college? Pay a tax.

Don’t want to have just one child and help “save the planet”? Pay a tax.

Don’t want to (fill-in-the-blank). Pay a tax.

Don’t want to live your life the way the government wants you to? Pay a tax.

The federal government now has the authority to use its taxing power to coerce its citizens to live their lives according to the government’s vision.

I would have rather had it justified under the commerce clause than this expansion of the taxing power. This is dangerous—not many people have realized just how dangerous.

Allow me to do the “Goodfellas” version:

Don’t maintain your weight or exercise? F You...Pay Me!

Don’t want to take certain courses in college? F You...Pay Me!

Don’t want to have just one child and help “save the planet”? F You...Pay Me!

Don’t want to (fill-in-the-blank). F You...Pay Me!

Don’t want to live your life the way the government wants you to? F You...Pay Me!

Their goal is to make us slaves and tax us for any godless, crazy, evil thing they want to push on us if we don’t agree with it. The ultimate Dhimmi tax except it’s for liberal evil causes.

We just watched The Patriot last night. July 4th and the Declaration will have special meaning for us this year. If they cancel or rig the election...
