Ron Paul on Supreme Court ObamaCare Ruling
Ron Paul on todays Supreme Court decision:
I strongly disagree with todays decision by the Supreme Court, but I am not surprised. The Court has a dismal record when it come to protecting liberty against unconstitutional excesses by Congress.
Today we should remember that virtually everything government does is a mandate. The issue is not whether Congress can compel commerce by forcing you to buy insurance, or simply compel you to pay a tax if you dont. The issue is that this compulsion implies the use of government force against those who refuse. The fundamental hallmark of a free society should be the rejection of force. In a free society, therefore, individuals could opt out of Obamacare without paying a government tribute.
