I don't want to be taxed for being alive. Is this what liberty is suppose to be?

Question

It doesn't feel like i'm living in a free country when i have to pay insurance corporations because i'm alive, and if i don't pay them the government comes after me. That doesn't feel like liberty at all, in fact that feels more like fascism. Maybe i'm just a stupid conservative , but where am i wrong? if i don't pay insurance corporations for a service i don't want, the government fines me. And if i don't pay those fines, i go to jail. Is this really a free country anymore? Does liberty mean anything to the government?

And Obama got this health care bill through the congress because he said it wasn't a new tax. ANd then he got it through the Supreme Court, because he said it actually was a tax. Now that is what i call dirty politics.

Answer 1

Hell I live in a red state and we have a death tax, go figure.

Answer 2

Many of us already realized that the other two branches of our government are owned by the big corporations, but held some hope that the Supreme Court was untouchable.

The ruling on Obama care has proven us to be wrong.

The Court may call the mandate a "tax" or whatever they will, but the bottom line is that every citizen in the United States now has a government imposed "condition of residency", where we are required to purchase a service from privately held corporations in order to maintain a legal status within our own Nation.

A precedent has now been set and the door has been flung wide open for any assortment of other such mandated purchases as "conditions of residency".

The Supreme Court ruling is not merely "evidence" of the pervasive power of the corporations, but stands as a substantial proof of their ownership of the entire Government of the United States.

Answer 3

And this is just setting the precedent so that sometime in the future we will have to pay a tax to Al Gores Carbon Credit company for breathing.



That is what I call taxation without representation. We were told it was not a tax and now it is.

Answer 4

This country was raised, nurtured, and is relied on because of taxes. Taxes run our economy, military, state and governmental juridictions . You are not a stupid conervative but an alert and a smart citizen who knows the difference between free enterprise and socialism

Answer 5

You are just a stupid conservative. Buy healthcare. The ACA makes it more affordable. Just buy it. Your beloved Romneycare is the exact same thing, just without the tax to pay for it. So we get more debt. Romney deserves death.

Answer 6

Well, do us all a favor and get out Any fool who thinks he'll go to jail over a tax penalty doesn't deserve to be an American.

Answer 7

If YOU are still paying too much, then FIRE YOUR ACCOUNTANT (or quit thinking you YOU are smart enough to handle your own accounting needs!)

Answer 8

I won’t have to pay that tax because I pay for my own health insurance.

It’s time for you free riders to take some personal responsibility and pay for your own heath care!!!!

Answer 9

Somalia is always open to people with that mentality.
