So now the government can tax me not only on those things I buy, but also tax me for the things I don’t buy. (Supreme Court upholds the health care law.)

If I buy a car, I get taxed on it. If I decide not to buy a car and take my chances that I can walk or ride public transportation everywhere, I could be taxed on the car I don’t buy – the auto manufactures’ need me to buy a car because the more cars that are bought, the more the cost of making cars are spread over a larger population – the Obama argument for health care. How does all that make sense?

All of us should take to the polls in November because the government is becoming a bigger bully, and is exercising more control over all of our lives.

I don’t want the government taxing me on what I choose NOT to buy. It’s a very dangerous precedent and an affront to our freedom of choice. Soon we will not be free.
