Moochers unite!

Freeloaders unite. NoBumsCare has stripped us of our precious freedom to mooch off other people. Because the U.S. Supreme Court has decided that the government mandate is really just a tax, we can’t get others to pay our medical bills even though we can afford insurance.

Five true Americans on the court had previously stood with the freedom-loving political action committees and presidential candidate George Bush in controversial decisions. The conflict between a tax and a mandate is a distinction without a difference.

Now, Chief Justice John Roberts has abandoned his sponsors. The threat that liberals would pounce on the court’s ideology bias has scared him away from protecting our right to receive free health care. If you believe in our right to a free ride on the medical bus, then you must vote for Mitt Romney.

I know he was for the mandate before he was against it, but he is with us now, isn’t he? He wouldn’t change his position again, would he? Anyway, he is the lesser of two evils, isn’t he?

Hold your nose and give us back our right to freeload on the medical system.
