Why is the white house still saying its a fine not a tax .. for healthcare law

[Lovebears65]

Maybe because they know the american people will vote him out if they say its a tax since he promised no taxes on the middle class. The court says its a tax , its a tax.. Romney needs to push this issue especially in the debates

Call it whatever you want. No matter what you call it, it is another grab of your money by the Government.

Because they don't wan't it to be constitutional I guess

 

[SniperFire]

The Supremes have already decided on this.

Sucks to be a Libtard.

Libtards are saying Roberts is wrong.

Tough shit. It's their tax. They own it.

It is somewhat ironic. In a sense, "they won"... but are calling the SCOTUS wrong! Go figure. Maybe that's OBAMALAW.

Why is there another thread on this when it's been beaten to death?

By the way... your boy Romney DOESNT want to push this issue because he'd be TOAST

Want the video to prove the quote? OK. Here you go

Romney: "It's not a tax hike. It is a fee, an assessment." - YouTube

Wow. Sucks to be Romney and have to argue against yourself so much.

So it's unconstitutional then?

I think your fucking signature line is too damn large.

Because their base believes anything they tell them.... bottom line is that this is the largest tax increase on middle class Americans in U.S. history.

Seems so obvious - you're going to pay more on your federal income taxes if you don't have HC insurance. There'll be a place on the tax return somewhere for you to declare it, and you will pay a higher tax if you don't have insurance and are above a certain level of income. And if you don't have the insurance but lie about it and say you do to avoid the higher taxes, then you've committed a crime and they will put you in prison, no different from Al Capone.

It's a tax which you are obligated to pay to the IRS. On everybody above a certain income level that is a lot lower than Obama's pledge for those making under $200k.

No, it's not a tax. The WH sez so.

Government cant run hospitals or a healthcare system. VA hospital rated worst in U.S.

That assessment of ONE VA hospital does not apply to all. BTW the agencies that inspected the facility and found the problems were GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. Give them some credit!

BTW The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is a government mandate for freeloaders with no HCI (but with means) to pay a (fine/tax) to offset a publicly incurred debt in the event they are rushed to the ER like so many of their kind often are. The only government involvement is the enforcement issues involving the IRS.
