But having said that, as you should know the decision in NATIONAL FEDERATION OF INDEPENDENT BUSINESS et al. v. SEBELIUS, SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, et al. was decided not on the Commerce Clause but rather the power authorized by the Tax and Spend Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

No it was not, I was based off of the fact that in wicked v filburn wheat was grown but was not sold, and there for was not in any form of commerce let alone interstate commerce,
as for the Tax and Spend Clause, is the clause without limit? they can tax what ever they want, as long as they want, as much as they want, for what ever or no reason at all? is that want our founders had in mind?
If the SCOTUS a small group of unelected people have the final say on such issue, do we have a Constitutional Republic or do we have a Oligarchy?
