Absolute power is now "constitutional."oody. So anything a federal law says you should have, you don't have to actually have it. But "our" government has unlimited power to tax you for not having it. Let's see where this goes.
The more lawful gun owners a state has, the less crime it will have. Therefore, Congress passes the Shooter Protection and Affordable Firearm Act giving all law-abiding citizens the "choice" of either being armed or being taxed. Great. Let's keep going.
The more high wage earners a state has, the less poor it will have. Therefore, Congress passes the Worker Protection and Affordable Job Act giving all working-age citizens the "choice" of either being rich or being taxed. Wonderful. We're on a roll!
The more suit wearers a state has, the less shabbiness it will have. Therefore, Congress passes the Fashionable Protection and Affordable Outfit Act giving all clothed citizens the "choice" of either being stylish or being taxed. Fabulous. But we're not done!
The more vegetable eaters a state has, the less obesity it will have. Therefore, Congress passes the Diner Protection and Affordable Food Act giving all hungry citizens the "choice" of either being thin or being taxed. Yummy. Any of this leaving a bad taste in your mouth yet?
The more holy book readers a state has, the less immorality it will have. Therefore, Congress passes the Faithful Protection and Affordable Bible Act giving all literate citizens the "choice" of either being religious or being taxed. Awesome. What else?
Yes, Congress can, according to the U.S. Supreme Court Law-Rewriters, fill in that blank with absolutely anything.
