When is a Tax not a Tax?
Apparently whenever the Obama administration says so.
The administration is arguing before the Supreme Court later this year that the penalty for not obeying the mandate for individuals to purchase health insurance is actually just a tax so it is legal.
While Obama's budget director Jeff Zients tells Congress that the penalty is not a tax just as Democrats maintained when passing the monstrous Obamacare bill in the first place and Obama himself pooh-poohed the idea of it being a tax in a TV interview with George Stephanopolis.
So, is it a tax or not? Let the Supreme Court decide this June.
I say it doesn't matter what you call it, it is still unconstitutional. This is how liberals, progressives, leftists always act. The cognitive dissonance between what they say and what is true must be overwhelming their brains, yet they still maintain and defend two completely different ideas of reality. Amazing!
Psychologists would have a field day trying to untangle a liberal person's brain who can believe both sides of an issue at the same time. I find it truly ridiculous that a person's logic can be so dulled that he can actually believe whatever he's selling even though he knows it is not true.
Ah, the liberal dream. They can say and do anything they want because the journalists, ha there's a good term, who should be bringing up the stark cognitive dissonance in their beliefs actually believe in both sides of the issue as well. It all depends on the agenda and somehow all liberals know that their ultimate agenda is the complete socialism of this country, even though they truly know that it means the end of our country's greatness.
Will we as American citizens continue to allow this man and his enablers destroy the very foundation of our country right before our eyes while he telling us he is actually restoring America's greatness. I am not sure where this year's battle will lead.
I try to be optimistic about our future, about the basic character of our people to overcome all the direct affronts to our liberties and freedoms that are being pushed at us by this overbearing, arrogant individual who currently lives in the White House. But it is hard to remain optimistic when I see, read and hear all of his ardent supporters in the media raving about how great his policies are and how Neanderthal his opponents are.
I truly believe this election is the final chance for America to exist as she has for the past 200+ years. One more term in office for this guy and our future is toast. He has done so much damage to the psyche of hard-working Americans that 4 more years of this and we can all just give up. Atlas shrugs and we fall off our perch. America is just another country.
This is what Obama believes, in fact has stated in speeches around the world. He sees nothing special in our country. Nothing exceptional. Nothing worth saving. Move along, nothing to see here. Four more years and we will truly be just another country, nothing of our past greatness will remain. We will all be worshiping in the church that Obama built.
Long live the king. k___ m_ a__.
On a side note:
I recently received an invitation from Obama's campaign committee to donate money and to send in my comments. I did just that. I donated one penny, taping it to the donation card. (Next to the penny my friend Shannon added this note, "All he is worth!" A nice touch, I thought.) My comments asked him to tell me just exactly what he considered a fair share of taxes. I know there will be no answer because to ideologues like this, a fair share depends on how they feel at the moment. Cannot answer with a number because at some point in the future they will want a larger portion.
And that's all I have to say for now.
