What We Can Learn from the Cruz's ObamaCare

     One of the big news stories of the day is the government coercion that led Ted Cruz to sign his family up for ObamaCare.  While I don't deny that I am disappointed by his decision, I understand the pressure he was under.

Picture it this way.  Imagine that government just passed a law that will completely phase out private education within five years.  When your 2015 income tax becomes due, you can either pay the enormous costs of enlisting your children into the public school system, or pay a fine.  The next year the fine will increase, until, five years from now, there will be no legal private education in existence in the United States.  If your wife tries to home-school your kids, she will go to jail.

So, what do you do?  Perhaps running for President with the goal of repealing the public education system--even though, in the meantime, one will have to navigate around the legal mandates for a couple of years is the route to take.
