From: Uglyface2 | #017My biggest concern is what these fools have just done to contract law. Oh, it's fine to force people into private contracts if we look at it as a tax. Sure! Why not have a tax on people who don't take out bank loans from approved lenders? Or how about a tax on people who don't have approved gym memberships? Why in the hell shouldn't there be a tax on people who don't have government approved private nannies?! It's just... they can make you do ANY random s*** now, all they have to do is make it a tax.
Soon people will be marrying their dogs!
Slippery slope!
Not a slippery slope. The damage has been done. There is now legal precedent from the SCOTUS that allows governments to force people into contracts in the guise of taxation. Absolutely pissing on hundreds of years of common law.
