I’m flipping through the legal determination that’s making the rounds at the various sewers over there. The determination confirms that I cannot be punished for not having paid a single nickel to the IRS over the past twenty years. I’m not a District of Columbia citizen. It’s always the smallest details that shut down the largest machines, isn’t it? It’s like everyone’s fretting and panicking and freaking out about that Robocop prototype that’s gone off the rails. And I just walk up and pluck out a single little fuse and the machine just powers down, <em>whirrrrrrrrr. </em>
So if I am not liable for the federal income tax, and if Roberts (in his total, embarrassing ignorance of what a tax even is) assures us that Obamacare’s individual mandate is a tax of the same variety as the income tax, then I’m not liable for Obamacare, right?

Won’t it be cool when I run for governor and I just laugh and laugh and laugh on the campaign trail about how I took away your signature legislative victory?
