Friends,
Last week we may have witnessed the largest
tax increase in U.S. history.
The Supreme Court ruled to uphold the
constitutionality of Obamacare’s individual mandate under the federal
government’s taxing power.
All along, President Obama and his enablers denied
that the individual mandate was a tax. Yet when it came down to it, they seemed
all too quick to make peace with the Supreme Court’s decision.
Why was it so easy for them to make this mental
switcheroo? Because consistency and truth were not the goal.
All that mattered was winning five Supreme Court votes.
For this reason I introduced a
constitutional amendment to ensure that taxes passed by Congress are labeled as
such during the legislative process. Obamacare was
upheld on the premise that the individual mandate fell under Congress’ right to
lay and collect taxes, even though the mandate was never labeled a tax by the
bill’s proponents.
My amendment requires that all taxes be labeled
honestly and openly during the legislative process. You deserve to know the
intent and consequences of legislation passed by Congress.
Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision clearly
illustrated the dangers of deceptive rhetoric by our leaders and perpetuated the
lack of trust Americans have in Washington.
I am working relentlessly to ensure that the Obama
Administration does not succeed in its attempts to manipulate and strong-arm the
American people. You deserve authentic leadership representing you in
Washington.
We have seen what the Democrats have done. We cannot
afford for them to gain a foothold in the House of Representatives this year.
