3 positive take-away points from yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling
I oppose Obamacare. It is an immoral piece of legislative chutzpah that hides taxpayer-funded abortion in its 2700 pages of Rube Goldberg-inspired legalese. It has led to the imposition of services on Catholics and other people of faith that force them to violate their conscience or face severe sanctions from the State. And it was sold as a way to reduce our federal deficits. It turns out, according to the Congressional Budget Office, that the president and his party were wrong. Obamacare is going to bust our already shattered bank and grind us into the scrap heap of history. Nonetheless, there are three positives that I believe will flow from yesterday’s landmark Supreme Court decision …

Read MoreThe 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 …

The Buffett Rule will not make America sounder financially. The president’s own numbers acknowledge as much. In fact, it will most likely make America weaker. Rich folks who earn a substantial portion of their income from investments would be faced with a doubling of their effective tax rate from fifteen to thirty percent. The Buffett Rule could result in a fast and furious selling spree with devastating results on the stock market. The impact on middle class investors and folks living off of their pensions and IRAs could be devastating …
Read MoreWhere do you have the most power?
Do you have more power as a consumer or as a voter? Interesting question, isn’t it? Think about it in the context of your health insurance. Obamacare has stripped away much of our power as consumers. The Rasmussen Poll reveals that 76% of Americans think they should have the right to choose between expensive insurance plans with low deductibles and low-cost plans with higher deductibles. Obamacare won’t allow you the choice …
Read MoreThe risk to the nation if the Court strikes down the Obamacare Mandate
We’re faced with three possible outcomes as the Supreme Court weighs the Obamacare Mandate. The Court could uphold the mandate and Obamacare just as it is. The Court can strike down the entire Obamacare piece of legislation, all 2700 pages of it. Or they can strike down the mandate only, while retaining the rest of the legislation. It is this last possibility that is troubling …
Read MoreLiberalism abhors a vacuum
By Tom Quiner The Supreme Court seems reticent. As Team Obama argues for a final rejection of the enumerated powers of the Constitution by upholding Obamacare’s expansion of the federal government, a few justices are saying “not so fast.” Justice Anthony Kennedy is skeptical and said the government has a “very heavy burden of justification.”…
