You're right.....poor choice of words.
Taxes can be imposed for a regulatory effect, not a punitive effect.
They can also be imposed for dedicated programs.
Hey...its cool.
Don't pay the fine (tax) if is assessed on you....and don't answer census questions you dont like....and dont comply with any government program you dont think is constitutional.
I'm all for civil disobedience...but if you are in the position of not having health insurance, just dont be a hypocrite...dont utilize any government-funded health services to which you have not directly contributed.
