Valin Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 The more I think about the penalty for non purchase of the insurance as a tax, the more appreciation I have for Roberts' decision. The feds cannot make you buy health insurance. No they can just fine you is you don't. Someone explain to me how this is not forcing me to buy something? Use small words. Because it is cheaper to pay the fine than to buy insurance. Manyfold. If you're trying to make me feel better....its not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, note this from Ann Althouse’s comments: My wife who is about as political as my cat, just contacted the local Tea Party in Cincinnati after the tax increase to see what she can do to help. Way to piss off the sleeping dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 @saveliberty Better...but only if he's not blowing smoke up our butts...metaphorically speaking. Remember he's a politician...and a smart politician, so this means he knows what we want to hear....and is willing to say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all is said and done about the SCOTUS ruling today I’ll like to offer this poem up for this is how I feel about what was said by this ruling. Invictus (Latin for "unconquered) Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you just pay the fine/penalty/tax until something comes up where you really need insurance, then you jump in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raygun Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I listened to Rush and Hannity this afternoon; I didn't listen to Levin as it would be only more of the depressing same.. You guys are ALL hysterical. NOBODY is going to stump on the campaign advocating CUTTING any government spending / entitlement program. You guys are delusional if you think that's going to happen. http://www.mises.org...astiat-18011850 There won't be ANY revolution in that most of the players of significance will state: "I'm too old to get involved." Most, if not all, won't even know who the woman that stopped communism in Brazil was. The virtual entirety of individuals you speak with in that regard just won't care. That'll be true so long as one can watch the various 'Idol', professional sport shows on cable. It is my belief the early warning will be when the rabbit-ear broadcasts are terminaterd.

Valin Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 ObamaCare: The Audio Version Adam Freedman 6/28/12 Here's my quick take on the ObamaCare decision. In about 13 minutes, I aim to give you the good (there is some), the bad, and the ugly. (Click On Link) There was a very interesting question in the comment section Brasidas Very much enjoy and appreciate your analysis, Adam. If you have time and happen to see this question, do you have any thoughts on the viability of the mandate if it is now considered to be a tax? Tax bills must originate in the House of Representatives, yet the ACA originated in the Senate. So, did Roberts plant a seed of destruction by designating this a tax.
