Entry: Greenspan's Gambits Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/greenspans_gambits#5361 Post contents: Taxation of labor/income/sales and capital is theft, plain and simple. With that being said, it doesn't really matter, because there is no salvation through government or money anyway. The government or money cannot make your life any better - life sucks, period. When God tells us <<[r]ender therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's>> He is telling us to pay taxes, because we couldn't have done anything better with the money than the government anyway; the money is a secular object, a tool to be used, and why bother risking our lives for something inconsequential? Money, government, or anything else that is secular does no good. Only by loving God, ourselves, and our neighbors can anything good come about. All this talk about tax rates is under the assumption that so-and-so can do something better with the money than the other guy. They can't. NO ONE can do anything particularly "better" with the money. Sure, the money "feels good" to both the people, but neither person has any real power to "make the world a better place" - that power belongs to God and God alone. Sent at: 2008 11 22
