thismeintiel said: The entire problem with this concept is that Jesus had nothing to do with government. The government actually hated him and had him killed. Jesus taught for each individual to make their world better, not give nearly half of their belongings to the government to handle things. The policy was also 10% tithing to the church. The government always finds a way to get close to half, very immoral. Especially when we know they waste and funnel a lot of it. It's probably why the Right constantly gives more to charity than the Left. Their responsibility, not governments. |
Because healthcare and safety nets are "for their own gains and power" apparently. how many anti tax republicans actually donate to charity and help people that are less fortunate and how do those numbers compare to what could be accomplished if America had tax rates that were comparable to most of Europe, Canada, Asia ect? I've heard a lot about tax cuts recently but I don't recall hearing much about charity donations going up. That's why I can't vote republican, whole party is too focused on their own wallets and that's why we are flat out worse off in regards to education, wealth inequality and healthcare
