1. Redistribution of wealth is not JUSTICE, it is THEFT. Contrary to liberal thought, forced redistribution of wealth is immoral. God did not give the Ten Commandments to Moses that read, “Thou shall not steal unless Congress passes a different law.” True compassion is voluntary—from the heart—and for the recipient it is challenging, personal, and spiritual. In other words, the down-and-out need more than money; they need encouragement and spiritual food.
It is generally forgotten that
Taxation is a form of coercive taking
If you do not pay the tax
You will be put in jail or otherwise punished
True Charity, Giving of Self
Is a Voluntary Act of Kindness and Generosity
Taxation is none of these things
And Government does not Care, Love, or Act in Kindness
When government redistributes wealth
it even hurts the people it is trying to help!
This is not necessarily intuitive, but observable.
The welfare mess is a classic example
of failed government intervention.
We have 50 years of experience which prove
that oppressive utopian ideas of “compassion”
only imprison the welfare class into perpetual poverty.
- Fix the payroll tax rate. This is a "pick-a-number" exercise so I will open the bidding at 10% ( a nice biblical tithing number). This payroll tax is all inclusive, Social Security, Medicare, Obamacare whatever.
- Limit annual expenditures on the programs to "taxes raised."
Voila! The unfunded liabilities that generate the scary numbers have vanished. And so has the "free lunch." The pay-as-you-go, (aka the Ponzi scheme) has been revealed.
Now, let the voters decide.
