Good Words

“It is contrary to the principles of reason and justice that any should be compelled to contribute to the maintenance of a church with which their consciences will not permit them to join, and from which they can derive no benefit; for remedy whereof, and that equal liberty as well religious as civil, may be universally extended to all the good people of this commonwealth.” ~George Mason, Virginia Declaration of Rights, 1776

But it is not contrary to the principles of reason and justice that people should be compelled to contribute to the maintenance of a wealth redistribution system with which their consciences will not permit them to join, and from which they can derive no benefit?


Heck, you treat government like your religion - can't I get some separation of church and state from that?
