Is minimum wage hike 15 or 44 percent?
Do I or do I not have the authority to use force against my neighbor to make him pay his employee more?
If I do not why does my vote for it make it just?
If the majority opinion makes it just why was slavery immoral? Is this a lesson we wish to pass on to our children?
Do we wish to live in a society where any right or freedom can be removed by majority vote?
What hope is there for a community where individuals desire to live by such a code?
It is time for this to stop. We are Christians and moral persons first. Democrats and Republicans second. We may not be able to change our neighbor but we can change the man in the mirror.
That in itself would be a lesson for our children and hope for our future.
