call your Representatives folks, demand this piece of fascist ( OcrapCare) of Government intrusion on YOUR RIGHTS be DEFUNDED
SNIP:
BY: Publius The Constitution in Article 1, section 1 states clearly “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States,” What could be so confusing about that? It does not say a “Supreme Executive with plenipotentiary powers shall….” Or an “Overbearing Judiciary may from time to time…..
” A legislative body one house of which is directly elected by the citizenry every two years (sounds like term limits to me!) and the other which originally was elected by state legislatures (see progressive assault on freedom 17th amendment) but is now subject to popular vote every six years, has the responsibility to levy taxes, provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare.
The list of enumerated powers is defined and LIMITED. So, what’s the big deal? The libbies want you to believe we live in “Plato’s Republic” where direct democracy is the order of the day. But other than the fact that some are frolicking in “Plato’s Closet”, we live in a constitutional republic with elected representation.
And better yet, those representatives who are elected every two years by the citizens of the district in which they reside, hold the real power….”The Power of the Purse!” The branch most closely in tune with the wishes and desires of the populace is, by design. The House of Representatives.
That is the body solely responsible for originating taxation legislation. When Chief Justice Roberts in his ruling last year called the ObummerCare mandate a “tax”, I think he knew what he was doing…….Congress created this obamination legislatively, they can eliminate it the same way. Congress can repeal the tax increases imposed and refuse to fund the rest…..they can exercise “The Power of the Purse!”
