Supreme Court Says Buy Health Insurance Or Be Taxed More. Do you agree?

The Supreme Courts ruling on ObamaCare has just exponentially increased the Federal Governments power over Americans. This unintentional consequence of the Courts ruling will not be recognized and understood by most until similar such legislation is enacted by Congress. By deeming the individual mandate to purchase health insurance Constitutional under the taxing provision, the Government can now regulate and control virtually any human activity, providing its not criminal, and demand your compliance so long as non-compliance is assessed with a penalty, or as Justice Roberts interrupts, a tax. Imagine a few scenarios. Given the national debt and the future burden on our children, the Federal Government can now insist that you buy life insurance in order to provide for your children and spouse upon your death. Non-compliance would result in a penalty deemed a tax which would make such an imposition completely constitutional. Just like the mandate to purchase health insurance. Or given the massive bailouts handed to Chrysler and GM, the Feds could insist your next vehicle purchase be American made in the interest of boosting the economy and creating jobs thereby levying a hefty tax upon foreign automobiles purchased. And the list is endless if you begin to think about this. And if you have any doubts, just consider the current attempt in New York to limit the size of soft drinks to no more than 16 ounces and their targeting buttered popcorn in movie theaters. Or try to find a salt shaker on the table in a Manhattan Restaurant. And how about the food police in elementary schools confiscating children’s lunches in the name of proper nutrition and obesity prevention. Once a State succeeds in passing such egregious legislation, there is no stopping others including the Federal Government. It’s truly a sad day for the Constitution but light still exists for the majority of Americans this coming Election Day.
