[QUOTE=dksuddeth;2726902]As an intelligent Libertarian, I know and understand that SOME taxes are necessary to pay for certain things, like interstate maintenance, military hardware and troop support, and unfortunately paying treasonous politicians their unearned salaries. It's also, again, completely and totally intellectually dishonest to mandate that I buy an insurance policy and call it a tax. We all know its not, yet most are quite willing to bend the definition of words as long as it gets them what they want. I'm not.

This tax isn't any different from any other tax in america. You don't have to buy insurance, if you don't you pay a higher tax. Just like you don't have to smoke cigarettes, but if you do you are going to pay a HUGE tax on them. Neither is illegal or unconstitutional.
