[a fool in paradise]

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

So much for confiscation and redistribution of “the other guy’s stuff” being in ANY way biblical.

Those who stir up such feelings of greed and envy and class war among the “have nots” are sinners.

Except that once it becomes "Taxed", It's no longer yours. No where does the Bible say that consfication through taxes is wrong. In fact the Bible comes out in support of taxes.

Once it is taxed , it is government's to do with what it will. It's the downside of having a government that God warned Israel about when they wanted a human King instead of God as King.

"We the people" who formed our government, have limited government's role. So that government can't do "anything it want's". And it can't tax us without facing us in the next election as the democrats are finding out. But enforcing those limitations is an ongoing battle, that requires an alert and informed citizenry.
