[QUOTE="HawkEye, post: 2441638, member: 229885"] Talk to a lawyer because you MISUNDERSTAND the legal argument. The MANDATE is not a tax.... it is a regulation on interstate commerce. That is.... if you already have insurance... nothing will change for you.... i.e. obviously NOT A TAX..... because you don't have to spend a DIME extra. Citizen failure to ABIDE by this Federal Law..... is punished via a PENALTY.... which could certainly be construed as a tax penalty. Which is FINE...because the Congress has the power to tax and spend. Your failure understand the difference..... does not mean there is not a legal difference. @Skyhawk.... if Congress does not have the power to issue "civil penalties" are you arguing that ALL FEDERAL FINES are illegal. I think you are.... and I KNOW YOU ARE WRONG. I.R.S. has been issuing "civil penalties" with "Congressional authority to do so" for going on 100 years now. [/QUOTE]
