Your back must be sore after carrying those goal posts.

None of your supposed "point", which is completely off the mark by the way, changes what I said originally. Considering 30 cents out of their pocket is probably far under 1% of their income, and they think it's more important to keep than to help their fellow man.

You can make some more false equivalencies if you want, but it won't change the base truth of the matter.

That's my point, dip. If you already pay 10% of your income to charity and other such institutions, why should you be required by the government to pay X amount more? That just encourages people like you or like me to take away from regular charitable contributions because you have to pay more.

If you can find a way to get these people health insurance without it affecting my bottom line, then fine. I couldn't give less of a fuck. But I've already drawn my line in the sand for what I want to donate to people (WILLINGLY) and so have you.

My point was that it should be up to you to decide how much you can afford to pay or not pay to help other people. Not the government.
