ObamaCare and the election...

June 28, 2012, is a day people will remember as "the day America died" or similar hyperbole, since the Supreme Court decided to allow the unpopular (and rammed down the people's throats) ObamaCare law to stand, basing the "individual mandate" as a TAX, not a fee (and therefore limiting the power of Congress in the use of Article I, Section 8's "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes" clause (aka Commerce Clause) and substituting that with Article I, section 8's "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes..." clause.  Yes, Chief Justice Roberts' ruling has some unintended consequences, like opening the door wide-open for what Congress can decide to tax on (and not just for incomes or products but behaviors too), but it also has the consequence of imposing 21 new taxes on Americans totalling over $800 billion dollars...12 of these directly impact Americans making less than $250,000...exactly what Obama promised over-and-over he would NOT do...as well as insisting that the "mandate" is not a tax but a fee...therefore meaning that Obama lied to the American people as well as the Congress. 

What does this mean for the election?  If Mitt Romney can pound away on Obama's lack of an economic record (yes, he did inherit a deficit from George W. Bush, but what did he do to resolve it...he doubled the debt to way more than Bush and his 42 predecessors combined), that Obama lied to the people about the ObamaCare tax, "Fast and Furious" and Obama covering for Eric Holder in "Fast and Furious", and about how Obama has consistently abused his power in appointing "czars" and ruling by fiat with regard to immigration, he can win the election.  Remember, when it comes to ObamaCare, he cannot blame the Republicans for it, as not a single Repub voted for ObamaCare, it was all Democrats, and this whole thing reminds me of a quote from the Watergate era:  "Whether our nation is a nation of laws and not of men is for Congress and ultimately, the American People (to decide)".  As a Washington Times reporter said, "Romney is appealing the Supreme Court ObamaCare decision to the American people...", and the people will decide to remove from power all those responsible--the President and those in Congress who agreed to the largest tax increase in American history.  If the people are angry enough to actually do it, there may be fewer Democrats in Congress than there are states in the union.
