Wishful thinking.
It’s only wishful thinking because Obama, Sebelius, et al., will use any means to keep this fireball rolling despite what some consider the extra-constitutionality of it, the deceptions, security issues endangering the well-being of the US population, the costs, and so on. Pitiful.
Thank you, Karl Smirks. Smirksism says the government does not tax the people enough, just look at the government deficit!
Dumb Asses should have read before signing it, eh Nancy?
There’s representation for this tax on the people, it just happens to be the insurance companies, who spent a little extra in buying them.
them=pols
I’m sure all those newly minted political hacks wearing black robes will make sure Obamacare remains a persistent maggot on the American flesh…
These plaintiffs are assholes. And so are their lawyers.
That’s the same thing I thought when the White House Lawyers argued to SCOTUS that the penalties for not purchasing health care insurance were really a tax.
I believe 0bama and his minions actually argued the penalty was not a tax, even before the SCOTUS. It was chief justice Roberts that proclaimed it a tax in giving the ACA constitutional blessing.
I read it as arguing for a tax.

In reading the SCOTUS majority opinion I find you are correct. Much of what I had read and heard was that the administration had actually argued it as a penalty. Thank you for the correction.
Obamacare…the talking heads have to go home at night and wonder when the White House give them some talking point that will work and won’t be proven false as soon as they use them.
I could never bring myself to watch the shock horror film Human Centipede, but when I picture people’s mouths sewn to another’s anus I think about this band of worthless human garbage.
Yeah, somehow I think this pig ain’t gonna fly. Sure, they may be right, but the political machine will ultimately rip it to shreds. Would be nice for them to win, though, I think.
All deficit spending and every federal reserve bail-out is taxation without representation. Inflation is a tax. As such, all capital gains should be discounted by an inflation rate before taxes are imposed. It’s not fair to tax people on the appreciation of property due to a devalued currency.
Sacrebleu
