If the good Lord asks for just 10%, then thats good enough for the government ... anything more is unholy.

[Congressman Billybob]

Believe it or not, when the Income Tax Amendment was in Congress the Republicans had the votes to put a 10% cap on income taxes. They declined to do that, on the grounds that such a cap would "encourage" later Congresses to raise the rate all the way up to that high level.

Now there's a classic example of Congress failing to predict accurately what Congress would do in the future.

If the good Lord were a FairTaxer, He would ask 10% of what you spend, not what you profit.

sigh....

10% was the minimum tithe! when you add together all tribute to the lord it was closer to a third..
