IN ALL SERIOUSNESS:
Do any of you in the House, the Senate, The White House or the Supreme Court have any common sense whatsoever? Do any of you own a dictionary? If so, I would be ever so grateful if you could explain how anyone can be expected to agree with Justice Roberts ruling. Justice Roberts ruled that the cost for not signing up for Obama Care or not purchasing health insurance is a tax. Put aside the fact that Justice Roberts did not have the Constitutional authority to do what he did when he changed the wording of the law. I ask that you simply consider the following using universally accepted understanding of the English language and fundamental common sense. When I am speeding and a Police Officer pulls me over and gives me a ticket, that is a fine and I am penalized for my action. When I fail to pay my taxes on time I am fined for it, and I am penalized for my action. Please tell me why all the sudden if I do not purchase Insurance under the Affordable Health Care Act, which is a law, it is a "tax" when any "reasonable man" would call that a fine or a penalty for not complying with the law. I have seen the use of the English language twisted and warped before to suit what politicians want. However, I refuse to completely abandon what I know to be true along with my common sense in order accept this uncommonly ignorant definition of the words "tax" and "fine".
