Exactly, as you say Ct-Tom, is correct. It is unfortunate that some people prefer to feel disappointed in not getting their desired slam-dunk rejection of Obamacare immediately, instead of taking the time to THINK about what Justice Roberts did for us.
Mr. Will is absolutely correct: Roberts answered all the questions that Obamacare posed for us, and the right answer is that we the people must tell Congress what they shall or shall not do in their Constitutionally unlimited power to tax. Congress must stay within the lines of its enumerated powers, with we the people directing Congress to our specifications as our Founders intended.
If we follow our patronage-dealing political elite and their media friends as blindly as sheep, then we will certainly get the country we deserve. If we emotionally lash out in formless rage at our political elite, they will take their direction from those who are more focused, coherent and supportive. We must collect ourselves now and THINK about what we want to happen in November and afterwards.
We must throw OUT every politician who will use Obamacare's power to make the IRS our new Gestapo to detect all sources of income in our household in order to confiscate it. We must throw OUT every politician who plans to keep all of our tax returns as patronage for Obamacare's privileged freeloading voters. We must throw OUT every politician who enjoys handing out free rides to those who love our money and return the favor with their votes.
It is up to us to THINK about the country we want after November. If we want massive, unsustainable and destructive taxes to be gifted to people who refuse to pay for themselves, then we should stay the course. if we want people to get off the dole and start paying for themselves, we must tell our politicians to get rid of the Obamacare tax and restore a truly free market without government meddling.
The Founders put our freedom in our own hands. Our political elite have struggled mightily to take our freedom away for themselves over the past several generations. Justice Roberts gave us our chance to take our freedom back, but we have to take it back ourselves in November. I'm ready, are you?
