As Twitchy reported yesterday, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared on “Meet the Press.” She joined other democrats in a failed attempt to spin away the fact that the mandate in Obamacare is a tax. She said that it isn’t a tax (after stumbling and almost saying the dreaded T-word aloud) and that it’s just a little penalty, free riders. Suck it up!

Twitter, as always, was at the ready to provide some teachable moments to the intelligence-deficient like Ms. Pelosi.
How can you be assessed a "penalty" for not paying a tax that doesn't exist, Nancy? #ItsNotaTAX? #phnm #tcot #GOP

Keep spinning and failing, democrats. And maybe brush up on history a bit. Americans aren’t too fond of excessive taxation, or the IRS, especially after being lied to about it.
Why yes I am following #ItsNotATax because laughter is the best medicine.
