What did you think the taxes collected during those times were used for? For the good of the citizens? Remember, Israel was a conquered land - this time by the Romans.

Read your Bible. They were trying to trick Jesus by having him say do not pay taxes. Instead, he asked them whose image is on the coin. Caesar, they answered. He then said pay unto Caesar what is Caesars - the coins - but pay unto God what is Gods.

There are also many instances in the New Testament where it states to obey your supieriors.

I don’t cherrypick it, but I do read the Bible.
If you think public servants are your superiors, I can’t help you.

You are deceived.

In America, our "superiors" are not Barack Obama and the District of Criminals.

It is the Constitution, and freedom.

9/10ths of what the Federal government is doing is not in the Constitution. You know it.

They are nothing but usurpers of power and political posers. They are most certainly NOT my superiors, and God knows it.
