    Exactly. SCOTUS upheld the commerce clause and outed Obamao for the liar that he is. He just threw away the election.

    The Mandate remains as a tax. Repeal of the tax is possible, but only with Conservative control of the White House and the Federal Legislature.

    Still sucks because the Lib-Cong achieved a victory.

    If you can donate to Romney right now. He’s raking in the donations since the decision this morning. It’s a good way to send a message to Obama.

    If the Dems truly were interested in helping the uninsured, a tax credit or break to incentivize insurance purchases would have done nicely.

    But it was never about helping the uninsured. It was about the POWER GRAB.

    Now, Obama and the Dems are the biggest tax increasers EVER, every promise they make is shown to be naught but lies, and this affects EVERYONE.

    Companies will not hire more people until this abomination is gutted and beheaded. Not only that, they will be cutting workforces. Watch for unemployment numbers to go up (in the private sector). There might be hiring in the govt sector as they fill Obamacare posts, but it’ll be tepid for now.

    Well, with luck this should guarantee Romney wins but he’s going to have to play real hardball and all the conservatives will have to get out and fight like banshees now to take the Senate and the WH back from these liars and thugs.

    The question I have is how does the SCOTUS redefine the meaning of the mandate to a tax when all the arguments made before the court explicitly said that it wasn’t? Obama said it wasn’t, Pelosi, Reid and Biden said it wasn’t, all the liberal talking heads said it wasn’t yet Roberts and the four liberal judges decided that it was and was therefore allowed. Maybe it’s for the best in that the SCOTUS forced out the truth about this being a massive tax increase that he can’t hide from.

    If unemployment goes up because of Obamaocare, it can only increase the landslide in November.

    RELAX, At least you can use your EBT Cash Card to pay the largest tax increase in history on the middle class.

    The sad part of all this as a business owner, is that it’s cheaper for me to pay the tax for not providing Health to my employees than to spend the $100k a year. The savings will more than offset my annual cost to cover my family out of pocket. I can also purchase a simple catastrophic plan in the event something terrible happens. It will be a business decision.

    Not that they care inasmuch as many of them sold their freedom to the Democrats several years ago, but the people who will pay for this are the “little people.” Leona Helmsley once remarked that “only little people pay taxes,” and while Helmsley was probably a complete bitch, she was absolutely correct.

    Businesses, many of whom currently provide health benefits for their employees, have been, and will continue to run a fairly simple mathematical exercise during which they calculate whether or not it is less expensive to continue to provide health insurance, or dump their employees into the public system. (What these mathematical calculations show is obvious – that is why so many organizations have sought and obtained exemptions from ObamaCare). I think it is a given that our elected officials will require Cadillac health plans for everyone, including people who may only need a Yugo plan, so one can count on the cost of insurance continuing to rise and private employers requiring their employees to find their own health care plans. Put another way, claim that 15 to 45 million people are without health insurance and that ObamaCare will remedy this; however, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett won’t pay the premiums – the people who can least afford it will.

    I find it ironic, and in a sick way very funny, that the very people whom Obama and the Democrats claim to be concerned about, and whom they want to help, will end up being screwed by what has happened. And it will be difficult, if not impossible to correct this because power ceded to the government is seldom regained.

    I hope to God you’re right BFH. But in the meantime, let’s hear what Barry Manilow has to say

    Oh Mandate
    Well, you’re an illegal method of taking
    So they gave you a new name
    Oh Mandate
    Well, they saved you and Nancy stopped quaking
    You impede us today

    I’ve been around since Marbury
    And I checked the very first laws
    I fudged the law and the policy together
    I am SCOTUS and I rewrite laws

    I rewrite laws that make the Executive King
    I rewrite laws to save this abom’nable thing
    I rewrite laws that make the young girls buy
    I rewrite laws, I rewrite laws

    I am SCOTUS, and I rewrite LAWS!!

    Had an entire three-Manilow-tune gloat fest, to include a take on “Copacabana”, prepared in the case of an overturning of the Mandate. Needless to say, I’ve had to do a complete rewrite

    We are now totally screwed. The Republic is dead. I weep for America. What make you think that there will be an election this Nov? All the machinery is already in place for Antichrist Obama to declare martial law, suspending the constitution. AND, you are not dealing in reality if you think Mitt is going to be significantly different than that evil illeagal alien on the White House. Mitt has no clue and no real plan for the S–t storm that is going to hit us very, very soon. Repent for the end IS near. Judgement is coming. Again we are all totally screwed, and didnt even get a kiss.
