... Well, millions of us, including those that are pacifists for religious reasons, felt that it was unjust and immoral for our tax dollars to be funding a war of choice against a nation that didn't attack us, a war that left thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians dead, a war that has destabilized the regions (hello, ISIS), a war that cost over a trillion dollars and was financed by borrowed money. We still had no choice but to pay for it. We all have to pay for things we don't like, even when we find it to be against our religion or whatever. People who live in states with capital punishment still have to fund executions even if they find them immoral. People who are vegans for ethical reasons may still have to deal with portions of their tax dollars going to farm subsidies that result in animals getting killed for food. Yet according to five of the nine SCotUS justices, corporations don't have to pay for their employee's contraception. Oh, if only we could all get to pick and choose what we have to pay for. |
Too bad you're not a corporation.
I actually haven't heard that argument before about paying for a war I find morally objectionable and capital punishment, which is actually against my religious beliefs. It's a great point.
