Now that we have the Justice Department's admission that the Healthcare purchase requirement is a tax, or incidental to a tax by operational treatment of it, I found it necessary to restate a Constitutional issue that was also true of the bank bailout bill regarding taxes and revenue.
I brought this up about the Bank Bailout before there was a Tea Party, http://changingwind.org/index/comment.php?comment.news.2.
The unconstitutionality relies on a simple clause of the Constitution, Article I, Section 7, Clause 1:
“All Bills for Raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other bills.”
At least with the bailout bill the Senate used an interpretation of ... “but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other bills” to justify their taking the Bank Bailout Bill and making it the Dodd Amendment to a bill that had already passed the House.
With Healthcare, there is absolutely no mistake.
There was no “origination in the House,” which would be required if the Healthcare Purchase requirement is considered “raising revenue” as the Justice Department appears to be arguing. The House passed a bill, and then the Senate passed a bill, after which they were blended together so as not to lose any of the previous “yea” votes in either body, and then the blended bill, which ended up being almost entirely the Senate version of the bill, was passed by the House, and put before the Senate for a procedural appearance.
You see, this Clause of the Constitution forbids the Senate from being the source for any and all laws to generate revenue for the United States Government.
Title 26 changes made to the Bailout bill by the Senate are what triggered my looking into this particular clause. And I should note that in my review of the House passed healthcare bill, HR 3200, there appears to have been no requirement of purchase, and no IRS enforcement, that these ideas were devised entirely in the Senate.
It appears President Obama, our Commander-in-Thief, was well aware of this Constitutional provision when arguing the dictionary definition of a tax, or, he just wanted to see how far he could mock our intelligence, after all he is a Progressive Elite, hand-picked for President by the Progressive cartel/cabal of George Soros, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, and a host of millionaires and billionaires, banks, and institutional union wealth.
Of course these people, who can afford any doctor day or night, and at any time, could care less about the rest of us being taxed.
It’s just a good thing almost every American makes over $250,000 a year, or Obama’s Healthcare Law could be breaking his campaign pledge, and we all know he would never do anything like that.
Thank you for reading,

P.S. Please if your state is one of the states suing the federal government in regard to the Healthcare bill get this to your Attorney General’s office, as it seems this little rule in the Constitution has been overlooked for far too long.
