How is it extortion?
Are we also be extorted into having children so we aren't punished in our taxes ?
Jesus... the poster child for why not to smoke dope.
Well, actually what he said is true. The gummit does punish people for not having children. On purpose.
The more familial responsibilities someone has, the more passive and compliant they are apt to be to being forced into submission by the power structure.
We need workers to pay into soc sec and medicare. So we give parents tax breaks, and tax non-breeders for schools. You'd think these guys would have lost their cherries before Obamacare
Although, Obamacare should have used the soft mandate like Medicare has. Enroll now or pay yuuuugely later.
