Correct. There are not nearly enough taxes.

The list of things I do not like and the list of things that should have taxes put upon them correlates fairly well.

Pay for people to do what you want. (Quit working and have\abort babies.)

Tax what you want people to do less. (Make money, Drive, Smoke, Drink)

Put people in prison for what you do not want them doing. (Murder (of people living over 3 minutes), paying for sex, trading stocks when you know for a fact the will go up or down, ratting out the government)

If I do not like what you believe then I am fully within my rights to not associate with you. Customers are within their rights to not shop there. The workers are within their rights to not work there.

Where a problem comes up is when government comes in and forces you to act against your beliefs. A recent study has stated that Vegetarians are not as healthy as people who eat both meat and veg. If the government decided that being a vegetarian was a stupid belief would it be ok for them to require that all people eat red meat at least twice a week?

No? Why not?

These are the places we really do not want government. Just because you are not on the side the government is currently attacking does not mean you should be ok with them having this power over people.

They do not provide insurance that gives out the drugs that the company does not wish to pay for. The employees already had insurance that the company paid for that the workers liked. The government stepped in and stated that the company had to provide insurance that did provide those drugs. This is what the case is about. The workers had insurance that paid for over 40 different types of contraception.

Facts about the things you are arguing about might help a little.

You obviously think that just because people are running from something makes it bad.

What about all the people who do not have the ability to just pick up and leave their home country? If all the people who can leave do and those are mosly the working responsible types who will stay and take care of the people who do not want to carry their own weight? have you though about them?

You must be dense. Requiring someone else to pay for something that you want that they do not want to pay for is evil.

What happened when you were growing up that made you so sure that the world owes everyone free shit? Freedom has nothing to do with "How much shit I want I can get others to pay for.

They are paying for it and you know this or you are so trapped by your beliefs that you can no longer see the truth.

Just because I am buying a package does not mean that I am not paying for the things in it. They choose not to put their money into certain things. This in no way prevents a person from paying for and obtaining these things on their own! Their freedoms are not being infringed upon in any way. Your access to skydiving is not infringed by me not including it in your pay package.

Since we both know the truth and neither of us claim to be developmentally disabled so badly as to not see facts directly in front of us, You already know this. You just want "That bastard religious company" to suffer. This means that you are being purposely disingenuous. That makes you a bad person.

In what fucked up world do you live in where what I am not willing to pay for for you is equal to me denying your access to the same?

Me not wanting to pay for you to jump out of airplanes in no way equals me denying your ability to do so. It only means you have to pay for it yourself.

Fucking sad ass losers that can not understand why they would ever have to be responsible to pay for something they want.

watching business owners whine about unfair it is that they have to provide birth control as part of their insurance plan

If you've ever been a manager you would know damn well why any company pays for contraceptives. Basically, it is just so much cheaper and less disruptive than maternity leave that it would be stupid not to pay it. Hell, most managers would ram the Combined Oral Contraceptive Pill down their female employees throats if they were legally able.

In reality, contraceptives are such a small and predictable cost that you don't really need to be insured against them. It's not charity, it's business, and if anything, not providing them shows a respect to the privacy of their employees sexuality.

GP is not aware that companies are not bitching about giving contraceptives to their employees. GP is just regurgitating stuff he heard. Hobby Lobby already gives its employees insurance that covers over 40 different types of contraceptives. It only does not want to cover 4 of them. Those 4 are available to anyone who wants to pay for them. There is no war against women. There is no evil company trying to take away a woman's right to choose. Just a company that does not want to pay money to do what they believe is killing babies.

But. People are stupid and can only think in small sound bites. So this is how we legislate now.

Another idiot. It is not even enough to pay to have a lazy ass eat and have shelter. They must also have me pay for an Xbox for them. Truthfully now. Since your kind have taken over and swelled the welfare roles and made food stamps have no stigma attached to them. Since your kind have gotten their way ... How much better has society become?
