Woe to the legislators of infamous laws,
to those who issue tyrannical decrees,
who refuse justice to the unfortunate
and cheat the poor among my people of their rights,
who make widows their prey and rob the orphan.
What will you do on the day of punishment,
when, from far off, destruction comes?" (Is.10:1-4).
This is just as immoral as animal cruelty, or killing babies, or letting people in africa suffer.
You cannot say that it is immoral to do something like that, and still not care about what happens in washington, or how we spend our money. Its the same thing.
