The ends justify the means, right you idiot Libs?
Now the Dems are tipping their hand. There is talk of increasing the tax to bail out insurance companies who can't afford to participate. And the way people are "taxed" as punishment for not being able to afford it, it's clear that it's not a tax, it's a fine. Of course, we still go back to it not being a tax since Obamacare didn't originate in the House to being a tax in the Supreme Court in order for them to uphold it.
It's illegal for government to force us to participate in commerce. Insurance companies are private businesses, which mean we are forced to become customers or pay the fine.
When they talk about increasing the penalty, it's clear it's not a tax, rather a punishment for not making this disaster work. Not a drop of sympathy for those who still can't afford either the ridiculous premiums or the fucking fine. Sucks to be a person who works and pays their own way.
Since when are taxes used to punish people? Of course, the IRS has recently been used to get even with political opponents. People who spoke out against Dems were either audited or denied tax exempt status due to political views.
Hillary would be another one who would use her power and position to control and even seek revenge on those against her.
Obamacare should never have become a law. It wasn't created through due process. It was done in a sneaky, underhanded way to force it on the American people. We were lied to about the content (although Pelosi was fine with nothing being disclosed prior to it being illegally shoved through) and we were lied to about how it would affect us. Not a damn thing Obama and the Dems promised was true. No keeping your doctor or plan. No saving money. No lower costs. Illegals are covered. And Big Pharms, who helped write the piece of shit, are making out like bandits, especially the Dem who raised the cost of EpiPen after it was decided it would be in every school. Price gouging like this is not capitalism. It's crony capitalism. Dems have a nasty habit of letting special interest groups write legislation. That's why we have the Federal Reserve- Woodrow Wilson let banks write that and he supported it.
I am not surprised that anyone, even a Supreme Court judge, is bullied or threatened. Liberals do believe the ends justify the means. They think it's okay to do anything to get and keep power. It's not about the greater good. It's about their twisted idea of the perfect world where they impose their will on the rest of us.
