Romney, Obama, Scalia all agree: They say Individual Mandate not a tax

[OohPooPahDoo]

and yet Obama argued it was a tax to keep it from being overturned.

See if it's not a tax then we all have to agree that the Supreme Court decision was wrong and Obamacare should have been overturned. If you are going to argue it wasnt a tax then you have to concede that the Court got it wrong.

The words we choose to describe things are far more important than the things themselves.

Nothing worse in football than watching your team score a touchdown only to have it taken back because of a stupid tax

It's not a tax__ Mandate, levy, penalty are all more fitting words. However, an economist would argue that it effectively is a tax.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Its a penalty in the form of a tax

No, it is a tax, period.

it's a Tapexenlty

In hockey if you get caught holding you get sent off for a 2 minute tax, to the tax box

Health care mandate not a tax

Romney and Obama actually also agree that the individual mandate is what's best for the country.

What if you get caught saying you support a national individual mandate - and then changing your mind when your political opponents take up the idea? Is there a box for that or are you just a plain hypocrite?

The health care mandate is exactly what five judges say it is.

Get over it.

Sorry bout that,


1. This will blow up in *The Faggots* face.
2. You know, Roberts.
3. He and they know this is no tax.
4. They have white washed this whole ruling in order to see if Romney will repeal it, doing their collective jobs for them.
5. What a bunch of *Fucking Faggots* the supreme court has become.
6. I'm done, *rant off*.

Health care mandate not a tax

Not anymore.

Romney's flipped on this..yet again.

 

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry bout that,


1. Because he won't disagree with the *Fucking Faggots* on the supreme court.
2. Only *CWN* is man enough to disagree with the *Fucking Faggots on the Supreme Court*.

Yup - now it's a tax.

He doesn't know what he was thinking earlier.

Possibly a prostate exam helped him change direction.

On a completely unrelated note.

So they all agree it's not constitutional then? Weird but OK.
