NOT OUR JOB
Chief Justice
John Roberts stated yesterday, that it was not the job of the
Supreme Court to rescue the public from the stupid decision that they made when
they put President Obama and the Democrats in power back in 2008. (O-kay, I paraphrased a little bit … but that
was the gist of his statement).
I agree with that statement … but is it the Court’s
job to re-write law in order to make it Constitutional? I don’t think so … and I can probably find a
lot of people smarter and more educated than me that would agree with me.
Nowhere in this 2700 page behemoth of healthcare
legislation does it say the word TAX as it relates to the individual
mandate. The President on many occasions
declared that it was a penalty and not a tax, even going as far as to tell
George Stephanopolis that he was stretching to call it a tax. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid heartily agreed
with the President.
Fast forward a couple of years, and the Government
lawyers are pleading to the court that it is a tax … and the Chief
Justice falls right into it.
So … I want to ask all my fellow Americans that make
under $250,000.00 a year … Did the President live up to his campaign promise
not to raise your taxes?
I could go on, but I have to go figure out if it is
cheaper to pay the fine (tax) or to actually purchase health insurance. I’m pretty sure that the tax will be cheaper,
but I might go with the insurance so that I can actually get something for my
money.
The next thing I will have to figure out is what I
will have to give up in order to afford the tax or the insurance.
Wish me luck
