What is particularly disingenuous about people like this is the intentional distortion of the Christian message concerning true charity. Government intrusion and power grabbing through the tax system impairs the charity that the individual can engage in. First, there is less available to give when it is confiscated. Second, the mechanism for it’s use is markedly inferior and more expensive. Third, it detaches the giver from the act of charity itself and prevents gratitude on the part of the receiver. Finally, and this may be the most important, it can never be truly charitable since it doesn’t flow first from the love of God. Excessive taxation and redistribution is a sin against charity and only serves the individual doing the confiscation.
Bingo
They are not being disingenuous at all! THEY REALLY BELIEVE THIS STUFF!!! (despite all the evidence contrary to it)
