It's all in the penumbras of the Constitution

Steele pisses up a rope, big time: “I am tired of Congress thumbing its nose and flipping a bird to the American people. I’m tired of this Congress thinking it knows better than me and my family how to provide for our health care now and in the future. I’m tired of this Congress not listening to me and to the American people – to all of us.”

Why not a tax on guys named Rot? Fair is fair. Pay up.

A $5 billion Medicine Cabinet Tax specifically permits insulin purchases but otherwise prohibits using money in Health Savings Accounts, Flexible Spending Accounts, or Health Reimbursement Accounts for non-prescription, over-the-counter medications. While diabetics thankfully are spared, how does this benefit those who use antacids or asthma inhalers? Oh, crap. This affects me directly. You taking pity on me, Herr Rot?

Also — in an affront to equality before the law — longshoremen are exempt from this tax. Why not ship captains, or nurses, or test pilots? Pissing up a rope, are we, Murdock?

“To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among several States, and with the Indian tribes.”

Shit, Tecs, if you don't see right there the power to make you pay for stuff you don't want, I guess you just can't read.
