TAX or NON TAX?

Obama and Pelosi sold this to Congress as not being a TAX. (which we all knew it was) That is how they got it through.

Now that the SC upheld this monster and says it is indeed a TAX, in theory this should Nullify the whole Healthcare package.

Being that only Congress has the ability to impose a TAX, which when Obamacare was passed it wasn't a TAX.

Therefore FRAUD has been committed.

Roberts actually saw through the veiled FRAUD of the Democrats and said it was a TAX, as we all knew it was in the beginning. As much as I hate what has just happened, Roberts actually had no choice, IT WAS/IS A TAX.

Perhaps where he could have done something was in the MANDATING portion, forcing everyone to purchase something they don't want is still, IMO, unconstitutional. Mandates are a TAX any way you want to cut it, now inforce it, OH, I forgot they have the concentration camps at the ready.

Could he have not said, YES it is a TAX, and Congress has the right to TAX, (upholding their rights), BUT Congress MUST go back and re-argue their position, as this was sold to Congress as a NON TAX, therefore FRAUD was committed. Remember the Democrats all stated over and over THIS IS NOT A TAX.

Congress commited FRAUD. Do we have any recourse on this one? I would think that now, every contract we ever signed CAN BE CHANGED at will, i.e. you signed it, but we have the right to make changes on that contract. Sign it, I will fill in the BLANKS later, OK?

Am I making an sense at all? I have not been this angry since LBJ's Great Society, are we there yet?

Politicians have ALWAYS blic was formed ) been less than truthful.

Check mark Twain's writings.

But we have elections and the voters are responsible for sorting out which politicians remain.

The Supreme Court kicked the can down the road.....and made a very narrow decision with regard to the Feds leving a penalty on the State Governments.

That is what I have heard so far.

I love how the media cautioned against a 5-4 decision to repeal, but are satisfied with a 5-4 decision to uphold.

From Saul Alinsky's Stalinist Socialist rules for media.

We are living in an Orwellian nightmare of Stalinism.

Why does the Left need deceit and lies to push their agenda? Why so Stalinist?

Look at the way the Supreme Court men in skirts reversed their decision on homosexuality.

The court CAN overrule an earlier decision (bad or not).
