I posted this video earlier and about a half dozen people were having a conversation, but now I can't find the thread. I'd like to hear what people have to say about this possiblity of the law being invalid because only the house can instigate new tax, and OCare was put forth by the senate.

Why the thread is no longer here is a mystery to me. Maybe it was merged with another thread, but I don't see any titles that seem to address this.

It's not a tax. Haven't you republicon-artist learned that repeating a lie over and over doesn't make it true? Move on to your next distraction. This one is a loser anyway. All it does is remind everybody of what Romney did in Massachusettes, HIS SIGNATURE LEGISLATION.

The supreme court ruling has been interpreted in this way. That it is a "tax". Has nothing to do with "repubs".

Of course it is a tax. That was Eric Holders primary argument, otherwise it would not have been legal. Romney's legislation applied to 1 state, which would be more feasible due to the diseconomy of scale of the federal government.

Well, without the mandate, the ACA won't work, according to Nancy Pelosi.
If the mandate is tax then the ACA is a fraud, according to Obama.... 'No George, it's not a tax'

I say pitch the mandate/tax along with the rest of the tax code and institute a flat tax.

You want an ACA, raise the flat tax rate. Maybe have the Congressbungdholes who vote for it dip a thumb a the bottle of Arab voting ink, just so we know who they are. Of course, they'd have to 'pull their thumbs out of their collective butts' so we could see them.

Vote Libertarian... shut down DC.

It's not tax no matter how many times that's parroted. Ok, lets for the sake of argument say it's a tax. 98% percent of people WONT BE PAYING IT. Those that will have the choice to not pay it and get insurance. Romney, Gingrich and many other republicans were for a national mandate before it became Obama's idea and oppostion became mandatory.

Havent you learned that you should educate yourself, prior to opening up your mouth and proving you dont know what you're talking about? Its ALWAYS been a tax..

To quote "repeating a lie over and over doesn't make it true".

Libs click their heels three times and chant... "It's not a tax, It's not a tax, It's not a tax", then Idiot Princess Nancy waves her majic wand and chants... 'Now you can see it... it's whatever you want it to be.' And all the ******* fairies fly into the land of socialist delights.
