Giving 10% of your pretax income to charity is specified in the Bible as tithes and is required by God. This guy is right that all of what we have is God's and we are the stewards of this wealth, but we have through God the free will to give or not to give. To be forced to give is a entirely different matter. No one should be forced to give, that is government theft. The problem with liberals is that they are all for giving, it just happens that they want to use our money to give. As they say it's the intent that really matters to them.Amen.

Pretax?
Just a question. In the old days the marginal tax rate on wealthy was about 80% (+ or -). Paying 10% on top of that and your are left with basically nothing on the marginal income. Government takes 80%, you contribute 10% to God. Do you think tithing might be 10% on your increase. If the government doesn’t give me a choice but confiscates it, it really isn’t my income.
