Render to Caesar," folks. (Matthew 22:19-21)You and many others are taking that quote out of context.
When Christ said that, he was pointing out that GOD owned czar, and that everything that czar has is GOD's.
So in other words, czar has no claim to anything, GOD has claim to all.

You are out of your cotton-pickin' mind.
Plain English is plain English. Or we can go to the original Greek, if you'd like.

If we don't like the tax laws, we can change them.
(But, since most taxpayers seem to view tax time as a gift from Uncle Sugar -- thanks to overwithholding, the AVERAGE refund is > $2300! -- I don't expect to see any big changes anytime soon.)

(Just my opinion, of course. Your mileage may vary.)
