That is who we have been. The question now before the Supreme Court is: Is that who we will continue to be? We know that at least one justice of the Supreme Court seems to think that it is okay for the government to tax you $2,000. Just pay the tax, and then you can observe your religious beliefs, even though it keeps you from providing the great health care that you have been providing. I will tell you that this is a seminal point in our history. ObamaCare, that decision broke my heart because I thought so much of Chief Justice John Roberts. Then when you read the decision, the decision is so poorly written, so pitifully reasoned, so hypocritical within the decision itself. Yes, it is a penalty, so we have got jurisdiction, and now that we have got jurisdiction, it is a tax, so it is constitutional. I mean, it is totally at odds with itself. Now, we are to this place. Is a majority of the Supreme Court going to say: Pilgrims, Roger Williams, all of you that brought us to the place where the freest, most successful country in the history of the world, those freedoms that you saw, that you prayed for, they are going away because now, since the government has the power to tax, it will have the power to destroy your religions? As the gentlelady points out, why stop with $2,000? Once the Supreme Court says this government has the power to tax you to observe your religious beliefs, why not $10,000, why not $20,000, why not $50,000?
