Let's Tax Not Going to Church

I think we should tax people if they don't go to church.  Really, we should. 

The U.S Supreme Court, in its ruling on Obamacare, declared that our federal government could tax the citizens for not buying health insurance.  The precedent has been set.  Logically and legally the feds can tax you for not doing something.  As silly as it sounds that is where we are.

Since that is the case I suggest Congress pass a law that for every Sunday you do not go to church you will be taxed $100.  How do you think the Left would like that one?  They are alright with Big Government mandating health insurance and placing a tax on you if you don't comply.  Won't they have to accept the same all-knowing, all-caring Big Government telling us to go to church or else?

I can come up with a lot good reasons why it would be good for you and for society as a whole.  I could cite studies that say church-goers live longer and are less of a burden to their fellow citizens.

Now that I have offered up my own absurd idea for what the government could tax us for not doing, I am looking for your ideas.  Bonus points if it is something that will really agitate the Left, like going to church.  Comment here or email me.  Should be fun.
