So we have a bill originating in the Senate that imposes a tax on the people. Jeff defends that because "it's legal". Nothing about it being moral, just, etc. Just "it's legal".

And THAT is progressive mentality. [/quote]

I will defend the bill on a number of grounds:

1) the Supreme Court says that it is legal. That makes it constitutional. I remember when Tea Partiers supported the Constitution. 
2) I support the tax/penalty/fee whatever because it discourages freeloaders. I remember when Tea Partiers opposed freeloaders.
3) The House voted on and passed the same bill that the Senate passed.Where the bill originated is a technicality. But, technically, it originated in the House. If the House was truly upset that it hadn't voted on the revenue language first, it could have voted against the bill. But, instead, the House voted to approve the bill. It is ridiculous to even act like the issue of where the bill originated is even important. Those making an issue of it probably don't even know that the House later voted on and approved the exact same language.

That said, I would have been much happier with a single-payer health system. If Tea Partiers are going to scream "socialism", we should at least have a socialist healthcare system. For once, they would accurate.
