sinful mandate

USA today – David Green –
9/12/2012
We're Christians, and we run our
business on Christian principles. I've always said that the first two goals of
our business are 1) to run our business in harmony with God's laws, and 2) to
focus on people more than money. And that's what we've tried to do. We close
early so our employees can see their families at night. We keep our stores
closed on Sundays, one of the week's biggest shopping days, so that our workers and their
families can enjoy a day of rest. We believe that it is by God's grace that
Hobby Lobby has endured, and he has blessed us and our employees. We've not only
added jobs in a weak economy, we've also raised wages for the past four years in a row. Our full-time employees start at
80% above minimum wage.
Our government threatens to fine job
creators in a bad economy. Our government threatens to fine a company that's
raised wages four years running. Our government threatens to fine a family for
running its business according to its beliefs. It's not
right.
