To all of you who are cheering the Supreme Court Decision regarding the Affordable Health Care Act (Obama Care). In keeping the individual mandate as a tax, giving congress the right to tax you for not doing something. Fast Forward to 2014 and in a suprise move the NRA backed candidates win in both the house and senate. They propose a new law to tax people who don't own a gun, which is necessary to protect themselves and to protect the country in case of an attack by a foreign power. Their rational is that the police are stretched to the limit and many people are left without protection. The tax on the people who won't defend them selves by purchasing a gun, will be used to pay for more police. Sound far fetched?

What a wonderful idea! I am all for it. If we want the government controlling lives and behavior by taxing....
You should write this out, trademark it and send it off to the NRA.
WE may even be able to abolish police. That way states won't have to worry about funding protection and put that money toward welfare! 
You thought they were pushing food stamps now...

Article 1 section 7 says that all revenue bills must originate in the House.
Conservatives are very aware of how important electing Romney is after yesterday's ruling. Roberts has just ensured the fence sitters and undecided will vote for Romney. Smoooooth.

I've been saying this all day. They are too busy rewarding each other on their "win", but it will hit them hard when it comes down to having to pay tax on something they don't want. They'll have no one to blame but themselves. All they've won is less freedom.

Bob,
You are absolutely right! This opens a virtual pandora's box and is a tax and spend administrations wet dream.
