I think that if you present any law, I can show you a moral component behind it.

The ability to tax is required for the funding of governments. Governments are their for the protection of the populace, which is a moral issue. Therefore, the gathering of taxes, and the code that is used to collect taxes has a moral component. How that is implement can be morally neutral, but the fact that the government can tax is not.

Let me show another example: Raycpa, in post #84, pointed out that he has a "law" that his sons must take out the garbage. The underlying moral principle to this is that garbage, if left unchecked, can lead to rodent infestations and disease, and therefore, for the health and welfare of the family, must be removed. How the garbage goes out is a morally neutral decision, but that it must go out is not.

That is what I mean about all laws having a moral component.
