Obama flatly denied on multiple occassions that the mandate was/is a tax, publically even.
Roberts, in his decision, called it a tax and based on that said it was constitional under the commerce clause.
Even if repealed, precedent has been set. Health care, or Health CONTROL rather isnt the sole issue here with the ruling. The precedent allows for ... well,
anything as yall have already alluded to. Johns right, we could be forced into buyin from the pet corporations like solyndra that are given huge breaks by the admin. Could be solyndra, could be a food producer, diet clinic if they say we're too fat... anything. And they can make us buy insurance, they can certainly control what we eat and drink, where we buy our electric, from what kind of source, etc... There is no end of it.
This is also the single largest tax increase ever, and though Obama promised it wouldnt affect the "middle class", the middle class is hit the hardest with increases.
Good bye individual and personal freedoms and liberty, Hello USS of A. unless we can make a difference in Nov.
Otherwise, it may well be time to hoist the jolly roger.
