WRONG: The Roberts Opinion: It's Not All Bad
Another horrific consequence of the SCOTUS obozocare decision:
“If Congress ever does need to mandate purchase of a product or service again, it can impose a tax for failing to buy it.”
...BUT it is even WORSE THAN THAT since it also opens the door to further socialist re-distribution of wealth and income. obozocare taxes in a manner to implement this socialist re-distribution by exempting the d-cRAT socialist privileged classes from any tax (and even gives them subsidies), while the successful are taxed progressively by the socialists just for being successful - the more successful, the more the tax (which then goes to the privileged classes).
John Roberts is not a “traitor to his philosophy.” He is not a liberal. He is, above all else, a very strict originalist, and the Chief Justice of a Court that is acutely aware – and wary – of its role in politics. Understand that his opinion, though certainly not ideal for the Right, contains more good news for conservatives in its pages than it does on its face.
So let’s take a look at his surprising opinion – the controlling opinion, as it’s called, which sets precedent and “say[s] what the law is,” as Marshall said so long...
Myself and my wealthy compatriots pay a FLAT TAX of 15% on all long term capital gain income.
Ever heard of the AMT-Alternative Minumum Tax?
