It's a tax and let Pres BO & Dems defend that now!



The headline is that the Supreme Court upheld BO-Care.  In fact, the decision is a bit more complex than that.

Chief Justice Roberts told us that the mandate was unconstitutional under the commerce clause.  This is good because it respects the constitution.

He also said that BO-Care was constitutional as a "tax".  Again, he is correctly confirming that the Congress can tax and spend. 

At the end of the day, this is the worst political outcome for Pres BO & Dems.

First, Pres BO & Dems spent 2009-10 telling us that it was not a tax.  Just check it out for yourself: 

"STEPHANOPOULOS:  That may be, but it’s still a tax increase.

OBAMA:  No.  That’s not true, George.  The — for us to say that you’ve got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase.  What it’s saying is, is that we’re not going to have other people carrying your burdens for you anymore than the fact that right now everybody in America, just about, has to get auto insurance. Nobody considers that a tax increase. People say to themselves, that is a fair way to make sure that if you hit my car, that I’m not covering all the costs."

Question:  Was he ignorant or deceptive.  I can not read Pres BO's mind but he does not win either way.  

Second, Pres BO will now have to ask Congress for a "tax" to pay for BO-Care.    He owns the Obama Care tax that we were told did not exist!


My money is on Romney!
