(July 2, 2014 at 5:25 pm)Heywood Wrote: Since you connected some dots that tie this claim to the case I feel the need to reply. However the following are a few facts that nullify the point you made.

1. Hobby Lobby doesn't make money on employee 401K plans. Its employees make money but Hobby Lobby does not. Contribution into employee 401K plans by Hobby Lobby is an expense for the company not a profit.
It's not a charity. It is an investment for the company, sometimes there are expenses to our investments. You don't think that they offer the 401k because they think doing so will make their profits go down..do you?

Quote:2. 401K funds are not invested directly into companies which profit by killing unborn human beings. They invest in funds which diversify themselves by investing in multiple companies. Hobby Lobby has no control of what companies those funds will invest the money in.
They researched the contents of their employees health packages enough to find objection - but not the driving engine of that investment? Meh, maybe, but I doubt it. They always have the option of another investment package. There's never an "objective best" when it comes to investing. Even though the company can't decide what's in the package ...they can decide whether or not their money will go into that package.

No argument from me on that last point. I enjoy the firm line drawn between religious owners and their employees.

I'm amusing myself with the ethics, friend, and how they don't match up to the legality of the issue.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
