The government forces you to buy LOTS of things far worse than broccoli
Would you like to buy a ten year war on Afghanistan (while OBL lives in Pakistan)? Doesn't matter -- you did.
Some other things we are forced by the US Government to buy:
- toxic waste Superfund site clean ups
- bailouts for gambling losses by financial institutions
- empty farm fields and unmilked cows
- $3 mil for research on the game World of Warcraft (UC Irvine)
- plenty of others
If the SCOTUS wants to take the position that the government cannot force taxpayers to buy things they don't want to buy then they should be consistent because if I wasn't paying for endless war, bank bailouts and subsidies to large corporations I would have plenty for health care.

Two wrongs don't make a right...
...seven do!
Hey, jackass! We think those are just as unconstitutional and wrong.

2. Everything in your list is paid from income taxes
Nobody is required to work, therefore nobody is required to pay income taxes.

3. In most places, though, people are required by law to wear clothes,
and these need to purchased.

5. They're required to wear clothes in public
You can always stay in your parents' basement and post on DU in the buff.

6. Not me. Only people who pay TAXES are subsidizing those things.
Suckers.

Does a forceful hand upside a DUmmie head count as a "Face Palm"?

Spending tax revenue versus forcing a citizen to buy something.
If you can't see the difference you just might be a DUchebag.

They're conflating everything in the stupidest ways. This orange is exactly like that wall clock; therefore, that chair is a stapler.

That's because it's finally setting in that obamacare is going to get nuked.
Not that this is really any different from all of the other times they make stupid assed comparisons.

OMG! A DUmmie with half a brain!!! Will wonders never cease!
I especially liked where in one argument before the court, they swore it was not a tax, and in a later argument said it was legal because it was a tax!
These poor bastards are swimmin' in circles!

Hey, what a great idea! We should start a sticky on "you just might be a DoucheBag if,"! Sorta like the "ya might be a redneck" fad! Whadda ya think?
Sounds like a lotta fun to me! Especially if we put examples from DUmpster land to back it up!
