Taxation comes after government, not before.

In the Book of Kings (I think), the people ask God for a king, and God warns the people against this, as no man should be elevated over another. The people whine and God relents.

So to get rid of taxation, you must do without kings and, along with that, government.

Biblically speaking, you could live the way of the Gospels and ignore government. Unfortunately, in today’s world, this means you’d have to do as Jesus said to the rich man - “Sell everything you own, give the money to the poor, and follow me.” AKA completely Galt.

Have fun in the woods and hills!

“Tithing is very much Biblical.”

Tithing is a choice.

>Right. And no involvement by the executive branch.

Nor, the Judicial (wasn’t it Kansas that judge ‘made’ spend all that $$ on ‘[schools’? Course, the State just went ahead with it like, ‘Oh, OK.’).

But, what do *I* know? I’m just a govt-school approved, post-self-educated serf. Luckily, I know cursive. /s
