So when you buy that sandwich, a portion of that money goes to such candidates. Is it a lot? Not by itself, no. But how would you feel if the store increased its prices by a penny an item, with the stipulation that ALL sales from that extra penny go to political candidates with the full power to ban gay marriage? Would you still buy your lunch there? OK, now suppose the amount of the price raised was a nickel, which you probably still wouldn't notice but still would raise considerable funds. How about a quarter, even a dollar, with the same stipulation? Where would you draw the line?<br /><br />Just something to think about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1490049579154307986.post-39228683139086474552012-08-02T21:57:44.374-05:002012-08-02T21:57:44.374-05:00Very well reasoned.
