I can’t seem to find inthe Constitution where the chief unJustice of the subPreme court is licit in defining what is a tax when the Congress has passed a bill and it is signed into law wihtout being defined as a tax. Can you help me out here? If it is a tax, then little barry bastard commie (Roberts’ boss, obviously) cannot unilaterally exclude whole groups and industries from the lawfully passed tax, so little barry should ne impeached and removed for violating his oath to the Constitution. If it is not a tax then the fool pirate Roberts should have rejected the entire freakin’ monstrosity based upon what he opened with. The man is about as sound as gummy bears.
Not to mention a tax cannot originate in the senate, something Roberts seems to have completely disregarded. The bill should have been slapped down on that provision alone after he illegally declared it a tax. I guess if you are going to legislate from the bench you can overlook stuff like that.
The is the affirmative action era.
Adherence to the constitution has been suspended to give a Marxist man with a tan a legacy to avoid riots on his behalf.
Lawlessness begets lawlessness. This is the latest salvo. More to come on both sides until the US fragments as the dollar implodes and states are forced to provide their own currency.
Insofar as it’s a line item on your income tax form I can grudgingly accept the notion “it’s a tax”, comparable to the reprehensible “you owe $1000 unless you have a kid with a SS#”. The terminology doesn’t line up with the semantics, but the end practical result is the same: you’re taxed $X unless you can demonstrate a qualifying deduction, which is a long-accepted norm.
As you note, as such the free-flowing exemptions to supporters come to a screeching halt today - or it gets ugly for Barry.
Insofar as very few people won’t be able to claim the qualifying deduction, or won’t otherwise have other deductions reducing total tax to $0 (the infamous 47%), the number of people actually subject to the tax will be very small and very little money raised thereby (well, relative to the spending Barry alleges it will offset).
