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?
I don't see how a vote among the employees would make any difference. Suppose they all supported the CEO (or they all didn't) - so what? It's a matter of law. Hobby Lobby may believe the law unjust (apparently they do), but that does not allow them to ignore it - at least, not without accepting the consequences of breaking the law.
I completely agree with you. The law is the law is the law, unfortunately. How easy was that transition? I've heard New Zealand is one of the post peaceful places to live.
| The law is the law is the law, unfortunately. I don't think it's unfortunate at all. The law is doing exactly what it should in this case (IMHO). About NZ - it's always hard to move a long ways from family and friends (it's a 12-hour flight, just the LA or SF). But this is such a wonderful place, and I love it here very much.
I agree with you in this instance. I overall of say there are definitely some laws many can agree shouldn't be in place. From what I've seen its an incredibly beautiful place.
