You completely missed the point. There is no TAX! It is a penalty. Government may be able by contorted illegitimate logic to penalize the citizens of each and every state for what they doif it's something they should not do, but the federal government has no authority to penalize people for not doing something, for not entering into an expensive contract just because some statist political group wants them to be a part of something they don't want nor need. What next? Can the federal government penalize us for not smoking, -which reduces their cigarette taxes? Why not? They now can penalize for what you do and also for what you don't do. Either way you are their slave. How does that saddle fit you? No so comfortably? Too bad, you better get used to it because you'll be wearing it for the rest of you life, as the government rides you all the way to your grave. Thank you Big Government! Where would we be without your saddle and bridle to keep us in line and obedient to your every dictate. Excapees from Soviet tyranny must be in shock to see such totalitarianism imposed by a Court established to defend the rule of law and the principles of individual liberty, but which has not again done just the opposite.
