[Vision2020] Obama to Rescind Conscience Rule

[Garrett Clevenger]

g,

Why should a business be obligated to pay an employee who doesn't do their job?

Shouldn't the business have the right to not spend its money on an employee who won't perform their job? If not, then how could a business continue to function if there doesn't seem to be a way to prevent employees from over-enjoying their supposed right to not do their job because of such a broad excuse as it goes against their religion? Are we talking about every single religion?

Does the government have the right to force a business to pay an employee who doesn't do their job? If so, why should government intervene in such an intimate way since that seems rather socialistic?

Doesn't passing a law requiring businesses to pay an employee who doesn't do their job because of religion violate the 1st Amendment? If not, how can a law which essentially is regarding the establishment of religion not be illegal, particularly when it also seems rather anti-capitalistic?


Feel free to answer any or all of these questions from a previous CR supporter. (sheesh, some almost sound like questions you would ask if the topic were something where you took the opposing side!) They're what helped me change my mind. I think the CR could have some serious consequences for many businesses if it is not repealed, or seriously revamped.
