The Ultimate Tax

Fines for failing to get health insurance

Under this proposal, if you do nothing else than simply be, you will face a fine. Income taxes are based on your act of earning money for work. Property taxes are a result of your state of owning something. Sales taxes are based on the behavior of purchasing something. Now, if you are simply nothing more than a living American, you may be fined if you don’t buy health insurance.

They’re comparing this to compulsory auto insurance laws, but you only are subject to that if you exercise the privilege of driving a car. This is different in that by exercising the right to life, you will be subject to special taxation.

Awesome.
