 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.

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

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Spending tax revenue versus forcing a citizen to buy something. 

If you can't see the difference you just might be a DUchebag.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

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.

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

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!
