Liberals say you can't legislate morals, what the heck is taking from the rich to give to the poor then?

Question

yes, that is correct, they say you can't legislate morality....

Answer 1

Providing for the common good. Starving children and people too poor to eat or buy medicine are an invitation to disease and unrest.
It's a pragmatic thing, not a religious thing.

That's the trouble with conservatives - penny wise and pound foolish.

Answer 2

THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY SAY. What they say is "You can't Legislate MORALITY."

And that is true. Just by passing a law you can not make someone follow it. Otherwise everyone would be MORAL rofl which as we all know they are not!

Morals and Morality are different. You have morals or you don't, or you have a certain amount of Morals. However, Morality is "a conformity to the rules of RIGHT CONDUCT." So while Morals can be the basis of your conscience, Morality is whether your going to run that red light ahead.

Answer 3

You can not legislate morals, but you can give the kids the green light to go down that path.

Answer 4

Gee, I must have missed the big "F**k the Rich" legislation debate. Can you tell me what piece of legislation you are referring to so I can give you an answer?

Answer 5

It is called "welfare" and there is nothing moral about stealing from those that are successful. Liberals wouldn't know what morality was even if it slapped them in their egg shaped face!

Answer 6

OOOOOH BOO HOO, My heart goes out to the long suffering rich. How will they ever survive?

Answer 7

well... it's called taxation and taking care of those in poverty...

while you may call taxation a moral issue... I don't consider it one... I think that's a bit of a stretch...

Answer 8

every law is a moral of one level or another,

murder, theft, rape, child abuse, are all moral issues

Answer 9

Their favorite thing to do since they've got so much money that they'll still have plenty leftover.
