Economic freedom crushed by Supreme Court

Government hands economic monopoly to Big Pharma and the vaccine industry

Abuse of power by the federal government knows no bounds

(NaturalNews) Regardless of whether you agree with the fundamentals of Obamacare, the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court has now ruled the federal government has the power tomeans an end to economic freedom in America. Why? Because it hands the federal government the power to force the American people to buy anything the government wants or facefor refusing to do so. It is the equivalent of announcing a federal monopoly over all private purchasing decisions."The Affordable Care Act's requirement that certain individuals pay a financial penalty for not obtaining health insurance may reasonably be characterized as a tax," wrote Chief Justice John Roberts, in his majority opinion. "Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness."Thus, the government canby simply characterizing the forced payment as a "tax."This article is not an argument so much about Obamacare itself, by the way; it's a red alert about a fundamental loss of economic freedom -- a shifting of private purchasing decisions to Washington D.C. Now, buoyed by the passage of Obamacare, the U.S. government can (and will) create new mandates that, for example, would• A new car each year from Detroit, in order to "boost the U.S. auto industry."• War bonds to "support the war effort."• A year's supply of vaccines.• Life insurance from the government's "approved" sources.• Lawn fertilizer (the "lawn health care mandate").• Intellectual property such as patented human genes already in your body.There is no limit to the reach of the Supreme Court's wild misinterpretation of the Commerce Clause, it seems. So now, all Americans can expect to get ready for the federal government to start laying out a long list of products and services we will all befrom the crony capitalist buddies of those in power.Perhaps the worst side effect is that Obamacare isn't really about health care at all. It's about protecting aover medicine; forcing consumers to buy into a system that offers zero coverage for alternative medicine, nutritional therapies, natural remedies or the healing arts.If Obamacare actually offered consumers a free market choice of where to get services, it would be a lot more balanced and effective. Instead, it forces consumers to buy into a system ofof drugs and surgery that would flat-out collapse if not for the monopolistic protections granted to the industry by the government itself.If given a free choice,than straight-up "drugs and surgery" medicine, but complementary medicine isn't covered under Obamacare. The law is really just another corrupt, criminal-minded handout to the drug industry. And now, thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court, you can't even opt out!That's the real kicker in all this: No more opting out of the private purchasing demands of the federal government!, and it's only going to get worse now that this power has been unwisely handed to the federal government by a short-sighted Supreme Court Because long after Obama is gone, other Presidents -- from any political party --to force Americans into buying any number of products, services, or even intellectual property that we don't want. There is now no limit to what the federal government can force you to buy by calling it a " tax ."Note, carefully,to this "taxing" power. If you bring home a monthly paycheck of, for example, $3,000, the U.S. government can now mandate that you spend $2,999 of that on various products and services that it deems you must have "for your own protection."The government can force you to spend it on things you don't want or even need!America, it seems, is starting to sound a whole lot like England under King George. Soon, we'll be living under our own modern Stamp Act from 1765, which eventually led to the American Revolution. Learn your history!
