]]> Comment on Hotel Workers Flood Council for Tax Rebate Bill by Neal Smith http://indylp.org/2011/08/16/hotel-workers-flood-council-for-tax-rebate-bill/#comment-510 Neal Smith Fri, 02 Sep 2011 13:14:51 +0000 http://indylp.org/?guid=54ab5991919cdebf52ca186494132f1e#comment-510 This is why unions are critically important to the economic well being of this society. Public dollars shouldn't support private anything, therefore workers have the right to band together for their common good. If corporations would sit down and fairly negotiate, we wouldn't have these problems. But runaway greed for profits on the backs of those who actually make those dollars for their companies prevents fair and equitable negotiations. If workers can't afford to buy products, the poverty cycle spins out of control. What part of balance isn't understood?

Think about it, what happens on April 15th? We file our taxes and most of us recieve a reimbursement check from the government. There are no strings attached. We can spend the money any way we like because it's ours. Donated it to a church? A very worthy cause of course, and not one complaint will be made. So you see, that's not the problem. Still thinking the voucher-money is government's, not yours. That's the problem. Government should not say what school your child has to attend. Since the individual funding was earmarked for your child's education the whole time, you're simply receiving a reimbursement for not using the public schools. Therefor, Government is not giving money to religious schools. You are. Which is perfectly legal (and highly admirable). Second, it's funny how government touts constitutionalism only when it benefits the government. Our Bill of Rights have been burned beyond recognition over recent years. Why would they care now? The seperation of church and state was to prevent leaders from establishing an approved state religion, as was often the case in England and Europe. Many were put to death for worshipping as protestants instead of catholics (or the other way around, depending on what century we're talking about). The Bill of Rights never suggested government refuse to acknowlege and support an individual's choice of religion. So there....the argument's are blown!
