Liberty and freedom took a slap upside the head on Thursday. The Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision that Obama Care is constitutional, and was upheld. Chief Justice John Roberts was the deciding vote siding with the more left-leaning Justices, and wrote the majority decision.
The individual mandate, which forces the American people to buy government health insurance or pay heavy penalties was not upheld in the Commerce clause of the Constitution, but in the Necessary and Proper clause as a tax.
Wait a minute! Anybody even remotely connected with the Obama administration swore up and down that this was not a tax! Well guess what America! it's all a big fat lie, perpetuated by this President (shocking!), and his newly appointed accomplices on the Supreme Court.
Obama Care hits the American taxpayers with a whopping $1.7 trillion dollars in new taxes over the next decade. Of the 21 tax hikes that would take place in that time, 12 would effect families earning less than $250,000 a year, a.k.a- small business. This also includes penalties that employers who do not insure their employees with Obama Care would pay. This will be the largest tax increase in American history.
We all know, however, that staggering tax hikes are just the beginning. it is the beginning of government being ever more intrusive in the lives of everyday Americans. If the government can tell you which doctor to see, and if you do not you will be punished in the form of a tax, what's next? Can the government "tax" you into eating healthy foods? Excercise? Not drinking or smoking? Oh forgive me, Michelle Obama is already working on the healthy foods part of that scenario isn't she? Is the next step a single payor system?
For Conservatives, this means only one thing. The fight has just begun. If Conservatives really needed another motivating factor to not only vote themselves in November, but make sure everyone they know votes as well, this is it. We are being called to stand up and fight for our country, and our freedoms in a way that most of us have never experienced in our lifetime. This is serious people. It is crunch time. The nation that produced great Americans like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Frederick Douglass, and Ronald Reagan is being chipped away at little by little. And today's ruling is one more big chunk hanging by a thread. As soon as you say,"That can't happen in America." Think again.
There was a quote from James Carville on The Drudge Report today. he said,"The Tea Party is over."
Think again.
