good. Then I will have to only repeat this one more time.
The SCOTUS ruled it as a tax. Taxes are changed all the time.
In addition....
If this was a law that is immutable (look it up), then how is it that you have not been screaming at the top of your lungs and blaming Obama for the waivers and changes he has made (illicitly at that) to the law to protect his cronies?
At least try to think critically before posting nonsense.
Taxes are changed by a bill being introduced to amend a law, which is then passed by one or the other chamber, and then the second chamber adopts or modifies the passed bill, and then it goes to committee or the potus. Taxes are NOT changed specifically to defund a law that the minority party lacks the votes to amend.
Never?
In 1977 the government shut down three different over Medicaid funding for abortions. This happened even though Democrats controlled both houses and the presidency.
In 1981 the government shutdown because the Democrats didn't want to accept the cuts proposed by Reagan, and passed by the Senate.
In 1982 the government shutdown because 1 person didn't want the MX missile program proposed by Reagan.
In 1990 one man shut down the government because everyone else refused to do anything about the deficit.
In 1995 the government shutdown because one man didn't want to balance the budget.
What's your point?
