    1. Still wrong. All enforcement of a tax is on the executive. Congress can not force the executive branch to enforce a tax.

    2. Doubt.

    3. I had my appendix out. OTC painkillers were an active part of the process. Sorry your analogy disproves your point.

    4. I won’t. Address it.

      First off, this isn’t a tax going uncollected. The president can’t say 'This thing I want to do is going to now be considered a tax so I can now not collect it." At this point, it’s clear you’re not engaging in good faith, as you’re falling straight back to using character attacks rather than arguments, so have a nice day.

        First off it is. It is exactly a tax. Just because the US government has tried to hire tax farmers to enforce it doesn’t make it not a tax. The president doesn’t have to say anything. There is no mechanism in the legal system to force a president to collect a tax.

        And at this point it is clear that you are trying to substitute virtue signaling for economic policy. And yes I seriously doubt you protested any other form of government bailout. I would wish you good day but I care about the truth.
