I think it'd be interesting for people to decide where they're tax dollars went. I'm not exactly sure how well it'd play out - it'd probably be too chaotic - but it's something to think about. We vote on our representatives based on how well they represent us. But, often times that doesn't work out either because the candidate we didn't want won, or the representatives end up doing they're own thing regardless of what the people want.

To bring two threads into one: I wonder if they had a vote among Hobby Lobby employees, how many of them would want to support the tax and how many wouldn't, regardless of what the CEO thought, and then make a decision based on that.

Where do you live, if you don't mind my asking?
