Regardless of whether you agree with the fundamentals of Obamacare, the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court has now ruled the federal government has the power to tax Americans into mandatory purchases of private industry products means an end to economic freedom in America. Why? Because it hands the federal government the power to force the American people to buy anything the government wants or face tax penalties for refusing to do so. It is the equivalent of announcing a federal monopoly over all private purchasing decisions.

“The Affordable Care Act’s requirement that certain individuals pay a financial penalty for not obtaining health insurance may reasonably be characterized as a tax,” wrote Chief Justice John Roberts, in his majority opinion. “Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness.”

Thus, the government can force Americans to buy anything it wants by simply characterizing the forced payment as a “tax.”

This article is not an argument so much about Obamacare itself, by the way; it’s a red alert about a fundamental loss of economic freedom — a shifting of private purchasing decisions to Washington D.C. Now, buoyed by the passage of Obamacare, the U.S. government can (and will) create new mandates that, for example, would force Americans to buy all the following:

• A new car each year from Detroit, in order to “boost the U.S. auto industry.”
• War bonds to “support the war effort.”
• A year’s supply of vaccines.
• Life insurance from the government’s “approved” sources.
• Lawn fertilizer (the “lawn health care mandate”).
• Intellectual property such as patented human genes already in your body.

There is no limit to the reach of the Supreme Court’s wild misinterpretation of the Commerce Clause, it seems. So now, all Americans can expect to get ready for the federal government to start laying out a long list of products and services we will all be taxed into buying from the crony capitalist buddies of those in power.

Perhaps the worst side effect is that Obamacare isn’t really about health care at all. It’s about protecting a Big Pharma monopoly over medicine; forcing consumers to buy into a system that offers zero coverage for alternative medicine, nutritional therapies, natural remedies or the healing arts.

  • A d v e r t i s e m e n t

If Obamacare actually offered consumers a free market choice of where to get services, it would be a lot more balanced and effective. Instead, it forces consumers to buy into a system of monopoly medicine of drugs and surgery that would flat-out collapse if not for the monopolistic protections granted to the industry by the government itself.

If given a free choice, most consumers prefer complementary medicine than straight-up “drugs and surgery” medicine, but complementary medicine isn’t covered under Obamacare. The law is really just another corrupt, criminal-minded handout to the drug industry. And now, thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court, you can’t even opt out!

That’s the real kicker in all this: No more opting out of the private purchasing demands of the federal government! Americans are being pick-pocketed at an alarming rate, and it’s only going to get worse now that this power has been unwisely handed to the federal government by a short-sighted Supreme Court.

Because long after Obama is gone, other Presidents — from any political party – will abuse this precedent to force Americans into buying any number of products, services, or even intellectual property that we don’t want. There is now no limit to what the federal government can force you to buy by calling it a “tax.”

Note, carefully, there is NO LIMIT to this “taxing” power. If you bring home a monthly paycheck of, for example, $3,000, the U.S. government can now mandate that you spend $2,999 of that on various products and services that it deems you must have “for your own protection.” You no longer control your own take-home pay! The government can force you to spend it on things you don’t want or even need!

America, it seems, is starting to sound a whole lot like England under King George. Soon, we’ll be living under our own modern Stamp Act from 1765, which eventually led to the American Revolution. Learn your history! As Wikipedia explains: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stamp_Act_1765)

The Stamp Act 1765 (short title Duties in American Colonies Act 1765; 5 George III, c. 12) was a direct tax imposed by the British Parliament specifically on the colonies of British America. The act required that many printed materials in the colonies be produced on stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp. These printed materials were legal documents, magazines, newspapers and many other types of paper used throughout the colonies. Like previous taxes, the stamp tax had to be paid in valid British currency, not in colonial paper money. The purpose of the tax was to help pay for troops stationed in North America after the British victory in the Seven Years’ War. The British government felt that the colonies were the primary beneficiaries of this military presence, and should pay at least a portion of the expense.

The Stamp Act met great resistance in the colonies. The colonies sent no representatives to Parliament, and therefore had no influence over what taxes were raised, how they were levied, or how they would be spent. Many colonists considered it a violation of their rights as Englishmen to be taxed without their consent — consent that only the colonial legislatures could grant. Colonial assemblies sent petitions and protests. The Stamp Act Congress held in New York City, reflecting the first significant joint colonial response to any British measure, also petitioned Parliament and the King. Local protest groups, led by colonial merchants and landowners, established connections through correspondence that created a loose coalition that extended from New England to Georgia. Protests and demonstrations initiated by the Sons of Liberty often turned violent and destructive as the masses became involved. Very soon all stamp tax distributors were intimidated into resigning their commissions, and the tax was never effectively collected.

Opposition to the Stamp Act was not limited to the colonies. British merchants and manufacturers, whose exports to the colonies were threatened by colonial economic problems exacerbated by the tax, also pressured Parliament. The Act was repealed on March 18, 1766 as a matter of expedience, but Parliament affirmed its power to legislate for the colonies “in all cases whatsoever” by also passing the Declaratory Act. There followed a series of new taxes and regulations, likewise opposed by the colonists.

The episode played a major role in defining the grievances and enabling the organized colonial resistance that led to the American Revolution in 1775.

    yeah sure ya fascist pos.
    this will serve mass murder as well as your beloved carbon tax scam,
    so of course you’re hailing it as a victory.

    what is it now “healthcare deniers must die” ?
    “healthcare-deniers are all drooling idiots like AGW-deniers” ?

    do us all a favor and go reduce your carbon footprint to zero thanks

  3. And what never gets mentioned anymore is that if Barry Soetoro(or whatever name he is using at the time) were found out to be an illegal alien that everything that he signed would become officially unlawful.
    And I see that with all of the mass mailings and internet sites and hype from political groups that collect money to investigate and remove Mr. Soetoro that how effective they were after almost 4 years. And fakes like John Boehner and John Mycain aren’t any better.

    So, lets see. Instead of hiring 10,000 new doctors and nurses then we have at least 10,000 IRS people who don’t have any training in health care.
    So, basically if a person has property but lost their job or doesn’t make much money in this new European style feudal system then I can only guess that a person will have to start selling their assets off until they complete the payments on their health care tax.
    That would be another way to steal and redistribute wealth from the working class to the non working but, eating, drinking, cell phoning, interneting, protesting and campaigning and commuter voting in multiple states class.

    FTA.

    FTW.

    Wisconsin Task Force…….

    out.

  4. The Supreme Court is the Constitution and Bill of Right not Trotsky-ites in robes.

    Go to China supremes you’ve got a singing date for the red-chairman maoists.

  5. I would like to thank the soup-court for giving me the best anger high I’ve had this entire happy new age.

    I’m sure they’ll repeat this idiot ivy-drivel for the full 1000 year Reich they’ve got planned.

  6. We need an Amendment to allow the tarring, feathering and free-trading of these rubber stamps with all…

  7. NO ONE has said HOW MUCH $ the Obamacare Obamatax will be? HOW MUCH MONEY $ will these White House robber barons end up taxing the everyday American? Will it be a once a year tax, a once a month tax, or a once a week tax? Will it be a tax that starts immediately, the minute you call your doctor? Will it be a tax equal to the amount of your operation costs the way the costs were before Obamacare Obamatax even came into being, the fee you used to pay the Doctor himself, when he billed you directly, before all of these federal middlemen and insurance agencies started to meddle around in between you and your Doctor?
    This is an absolute disaster and nightmare with no end in sight as far as providing proper Health and Medical Care to millions of Americans. Who is going to set the tax rates, the IRS, the White House, Congress, the Senate, or the black robed Supreme Court Chief Justice idiot John Roberts himself?
    No one is asking any of these esoteric but valid questions anywhere in the media and maybe they should.

  8. I think this health care law is very bad.
    But.
    The U.S. Congress passed the health care law and can repeal it.
    The U.S. Congress controls the rules of the paper money system.
    The U.S. Congress can change the rules in the paper money system.
    The U.S. Congress granted the exclusive rights to the Federal Reserve Corporation to issue the paper money.
    From this article.
    “The Affordable Care Act’s requirement that certain individuals pay a financial penalty for not obtaining health insurance may reasonably be characterized as a tax,” wrote Chief Justice John Roberts.

    When you volunteer to give your Social Security number to an employer you are entering the system. They take out money (tax) for your Social Security retirement, they take out money (tax) for Medicare, they take out the Federal with holding (tax) also.
    Some of the Federal with holding portion pays for your unemployement benefits that you may use when laid off.
    Some of the Federal with holding portion pays for the workmans compensation insurance you may use if injured on the job.
    They tax people who use the Social Security number already and you must pay these because the U.S. Congress made these laws over this paper money system.

    Now the U.S. Congress changed the rules of the paper money system again and will tax you at a higher rate if you don’t have health insurance.

    This is why the fiat paper money system is bad.
    Gold and Silver coin is lawful money.
    See Article 1 sec. 10 clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution.
    “No State shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts”.
    Our paper money is not lawfull money it is just legal tender.

  9. Mike Adams is exactly right on what the true meaning of the SCOTUS decision on Obamacare (now Obamatax). The government now has license to dictate how you spend your money, which renders the entire concept of private property meaningless.

    We know how much those in the Ruling Elite like to spend our money, and we know how strong their “know-better-than-you” attitude is towards us. This is an irresistable power for them and they won’t stop until they are deciding how we spend all of our money, and disposing all of our property.

    Next up: Buy a gym membership, or face a “tax”. Buy broccoli every week, or face a “tax”. Buy an electric car from Government Motors, or face a “tax”. Retrofit your home with energy “saving” appliances/insulation, or face a “tax”. Put solar panels on your roof, or face a “tax”. Think Nanny Bloomberg on steroids. They won’t stop piling on these mandates until all of our property is gone.

    They might as well go all the way, full circle, and completely undo the Revolution, by requiring us to buy paper with an official gov’t stamp, or face a “tax”.

    Obamatax originated in the Senate, not the House, even though the Constitution requires all taxes to originate in the House. A new taxing power ought to require a Constitutional Amendment, like we did for the income tax. None of that was done, meaning Obamatax, and every tax/mandate that comes after it, is a tax passed without the consent or representation of the People. The American Revolution has truly been overturned.

  10. this is all bigger than most realize..

    mid 90′s with the introduction of supermarket “loyalty cards”,
    not only for shelf re-stocking, but also induvidualized relational databases, shared information.
    they can know how much, what color, how stinky, and what to prescribe to treat symptoms,
    5-10 years later, for the junk you buy to eat today.

    hospitals want first dibs on REAL ESTATE for treatments not covered by their insurance buddies,
    which ends up in the hands of state and banksters instead of your own descendants, by design.

    now its MANDATORY PARTICIPATION for government big-pharma big-medical big-insurance,
    the majority of which is foreign owned corporate entities who wrote it all, for their own profits.
    yes they ARE poisoning the air-food-water-medicine, slow kill mass murder is a moneymaker!
