Entry: Greenspan's Gambits Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/greenspans_gambits#5712 Post contents: MSS sed: "To summarize, these spies were attempting to entrap Christ into saying that it was not lawful to pay tribute to the secular ruler. His response was that it was lawful. Of course it is still lawful to pay taxes, and still unwise not to do so, or to recommend that others not do so." Clearly Jesus was not interested in the temporal world, but you are. Therefore using Christianity to defend a tax system that puts the burden on the middle class and people who live by their labor is not appropriate, and more importantly an affront to the teaching of Jesus. Pay your taxes and using the bible to defend your selfishness and greed. MSS sed: There is an old adage in law: when you have the law on your side, argue the law; when you have the facts on your side, argue the facts; when you have neither, abuse the opposing litigant. Quoting the Tax Foundation to attack the progressive income tax is like quoting Karl Marx to defend collectivization. You have no FACTS on your side, no LAW, just your subjective interpretation of paid pimps for the CEO classes, trust fund babies, and the Park Avenue set. Worse, you distort the teaching of Jesus to defend your greed and selfishness, which is a form of blasphemy. And like most conservatives/libertarians you resort to using the BLACK welfare mother as a racist tool to incite resentment among working class white people to YOUR point of view. And you cite biblical quotes against sloth and drunkenness and laziness to describe me and my motivations. Yes, all defenders of the progressive income tax are lazy bums who don’t want to work for a living. That’s the essence of your “argument”. And now you are asking for tolerance and respect?
