re: #404 blueraven

I think the bigger outrage…at least for republicans is that Mitt Romney doesn’t think the mandate is a tax. He thinks it is a fee or penalty. He agrees with Obama.

The tax/penalty debate is yet another attempt by Obama’s opponents to talk about anything except whether the policy helps people (hint: this is because it does).

The semantics are irrelevant. The policy does many things but in this instance it prevents free riderism and provides affordable healthcare. Thus it is a good thing.
