I’m starting to get annoyed with not having the freedom to choose where the money I earned is going. I also don’t think it’s fair to have the government force private businesses to pay for these things that go against their morals (like in the case of Hobby Lobby). It’s not the government’s job to decide what is moral and what isn’t; that’s subjective and personal. You shouldn’t be forced to have to abandon your morals just because you want to start your own business. I don’t think the government has the right to force people to pay for things that go against their principles. That’s overstepping its bounds. (I’m starting to agree more with the Libertarian point of view on this)
jehovah’s witnesses are morally opposed to blood transfusions. so why should they have to pay for your emergency surgery?
i don’t really believe in war, so, should i get to have my money not allocated towards that?
hell, if i have a moral opposition to organized religion, what impact should that have on churches’ tax breaks?
what about the people who have a moral opposition to taxes? are they off the hook entirely?
how do you prove that someone “actually” holds some moral? if it’s possible to get out of taxes just because you don’t believe in them, what stops everyone in the whole country from using the same argument?
i notice hobby lobby is based in oklahoma, which led the country in capital punishment per capita until just a couple years ago. where do you think the money for all those government-sanctioned murders came from?
also lol at complaining about birth control. did we already forget that thing about how medicare spent $172 million on penis pumps in six years, or that even a decade ago, new york alone was spending $6 million a year on viagra? so it’s fine to spend hundreds of millions to help men have sex, but not women. (who do you think the women on birth control are having sex with, praytell?)
surprise, the right to hold your morals ends approximately where others’ rights begin, and the government has decided that women have the right to abortion and people have the right to health care. (well, sort of.)
addendum: presumably hobby lobby buys products and supplies and services from other companies, who presumably have employees, who presumably have health insurance. do they have a problem with that, i wonder?
