Nebraska
Exempt From Health Care Tax
Congressional taxes are to
be uniform throughout the United States

Well,
I guess I have to come off of my Christmas vacation to explain to
Congress that the U.S. Constitution does not allow Congress to
impose a tax that is not uniform through the United
States.
You most likely have heard about Nebraska's Senator,
Ben Nelson, selling out on the health care issue. He said he
would not go along with a bill that funded abortions.
However apparently he can be bought for one-hundred
million.
That's right, Senator Ben Nelson managed to get his
state to be opted out of having to pay the one-million a year price
tag that is attached to the government ran health care
plan. This is the amount that the rest of the states would be forced
to pay for the unconstitutional plan.
The
following is in the U.S. Constitution, under the powers that
are granted to the U.S. Congress:
"To
lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts
and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United
States; but all duties, imposts and excises
shall
be uniform throughout the
United States;"
There you have it. Taxes must
be "uniform" throughout the United States. Congress cannot exempt
one state from a tax, while imposing that tax on the rest of the
states. It is like they are just making this stuff up as they
go along. Maybe the liberals figured that they could make an
unlawful exemption, considering that the entire bill is unlawful to
begin with.
Oh, and by the way that "general
welfare," spoken of in that power that is given to
Congress, is "of the United States." It is not of the
individual states, nor is it of the individual people. We
can know this for a few reasons, but the one main reason is the
conjunction "and." The conjunction "and" equates the United
States "general welfare" in the sentence with the United
States "common defense" in the sentence. This means (in
the English language) that, that which is true for one, is true
for the other. And we all know that the federal government will NOT
get involved in an instate defense matter. --For example, if your
neighbor punches you in the nose, you cannot call the FBI.
We
also see that the U.S. Constitution shows the United
States, the states, and the people
as separate in the 10th amendment:
Amendment 10 -
Powers Retained by the States and the People (ratified December 15,
1791)
The powers not delegated to the
United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to
the states, are reserved to the
states respectively, or to the people.
That's enough for now...
