• The Nothing Tax

  Listen to Judge Roberts/turncoat’s brilliant argument:

  “If an individual does not maintain health insurance, the only consequence is that he must make an additional payment to the IRS when he pays his taxes,” Roberts writes. He adds that this means “the mandate is not a legal command to buy insurance. Rather, it makes going without insurance just another thing the government taxes, like buying gasoline or earning an income.”

  

  So apparently putting a tax on nothing is the same as taxing people on a product or on their income.  I have heard of taxing commodities and income but I have never heard of putting a tax on nothing.  This is brilliant.  Talk about squeezing blood from a turnip.  It’s hard to justify putting a tax on nothing, and taxing people who have little to no revenue for not buying a service they can’t afford is not going to yield a lot of money.  All this will do is make people who are already suffering suffer more.  So thanks a lot Obama, and thanks everyone who voted for him, and thank you judge Roberts for turning our lives from crap to crap stew.
