“An unlimited power to tax involves,
necessarily, a power to destroy,”
- Daniel Webster
McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 327 (1819)
The U.S. Supreme
Court ruling on the Patient Care and Affordability Act, commonly known
as "Obamacare," has been called a "huge victory for the Obama
Administration." Well, anything that's a "huge victory"
for Obama and Company is a huge loss for Americans who treasure their freedoms
and religious liberty.
In a case of
supreme irony, the High Court's ruling that Obamacare is
"constitutional" and the individual mandate is a tax on the American
people comes less than a week before Americans celebrate our independence from
British tyranny. King George III would have been hard-pressed to match
the effects of this decision, which should galvanize freedom-loving patriots
into action.
As you may know,
Florida federal District Judge C. Roger Vinson ruled the individual mandate
unconstitutional in January. He said, “Never before has Congress required
that everyone buy a product from a private company (essentially for life) just
for being alive and residing in the United States. If [the government] has the
power to compel an otherwise passive individual into a transaction… it is not
hyperbolic to suggest that Congress could do almost anything it wanted.”
I refuse to hand
down a country to my children where unelected bureaucrats control their
healthcare and Congress can do "almost anything" it wants.
It's nineteen
weeks to Election Day. Let's roll!
P.S.: We've just
seen how nine unelected people in black robes can change the face of the nation
with the stroke of a pen. Remember, the president appoints to the
U.S. Supreme Court bench. If you don't vote for any other reason, vote
for that one.
