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

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.

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