The Obamacare “no tax” con
Obamacare stands. In a narrow 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court upheld the key “mandate” provision. The mandate is the funding engine of this sprawling piece of legislation. The public was never presented with a faithful account of what was in this bill. Rather, it was sold with smoke and mirrors. It was based on a con …

* … but were afraid to ask. By Tom Quiner The president seemed sincere: “I do not suggest that the debate surrounding abortion can or should go away.” This came in 2009 in his address to Catholics at Notre Dame University.
