re: #619 recusancy

You don’t have to purchase the service. You can just pay the penalty fine and be done with it if you like. Same goes with taxes.

I’ll say it again. Show me a current law that requires me to purchase a PRODUCT, ITEM or SERVICE or else pay a penalty to the IRS, a penalty, that if I refuse to pay, could result in my going to jail?

We are talking about being forced to purchase something, we are not talking about taxes. We are talking about what happens if I refuse to purchase something, not about taxes.

This is not a tax… it is a fine, a penalty, punitive, for not BUYING SOMETHING.
