Mr. Obama is correct that Christians who are especially blessed are expected by their Lord to give to those who are less fortunate -- on an INDIVIDUAL basis.

However, I DEFY him to provide a single verse from the Scriptures in which Jesus states that ‘Caesar’ (the government) should be the judge of who should give, and how much they should give.

Not ALL rich people are Christians. Many of them do not BELIEVE that God calls on them to be charitable, and might resent having someone else’s religious beliefs forced on them. In fact, if I did not already know that Barack Obama is a cynical and hypocritical manipulator and liar, I might think he was trying to bring about a theocracy...

Does the stated verse refer to wealth or anything material? It's my understanding that it relates to enlightenment and adherence to the Lord's will.
