A Different Take on Chief Justice Roberts Opinion

As many of us Conservatives fume over the Chief Justices' opinion, I would like to look at it in a different light and why I think this may be a Conservative Trojan Horse to torpedo the 16th amendment.

Justice Roberts opined that the Government has the ability to tax us, and it does under the 16th amendment. Without stating so, Roberts has brought to light the very danger that is the 16th. The amendments states:

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

The dangers it represents are far reaching and limitless. Under this amendment the government can tax us 100% and we have no legal recourse. Roberts is stating this in his opinion but not directly. From a constitutional standpoint, he is spot on as much as we don't want to admit it. His opinion affirms the 16th and the power of congress to tax the daylights out of us as they see fit.

It seems to me that his opinion could be translated to " Hey, you want to be taxed, than so be it"

I believe his opinion will now open up the debate to repeal the 16th amendment because of the power it has to tax and destroy. Also another suit can be brought under the same pretense with a different twist: Yes it is a tax, but under the 10th amendment there is no enumerated power that the government has to tell us what to buy and not to buy. Then if this is upheld as 'yes the Gov does have the power under the Commerce Clause, then Insurance companies will only operate in the states and not the United States as a whole, getting the government out of our lives, and there is nothing they can do about it.

So, if there was ever a reason to repeal the 16th amendment, here it is!

Just a thought...
