Even the Bible admired more the pennies of a poor person over the big offerings of the rich because for the poor it was a much greater sacrifice to due without the pennies.

This story of the "widow's mite" is not about taxation. It's about VOLUNTARY giving!!!! The Bible does talk about tax, but this story isn't it. What we currently have for tax rates falls more under the idea of stealing, coercive redistribution of wealth, and the productive forced to support the non-productive. The Bible has much to say about these topics as well.

For detailed reference read RJ Rushdoony, Gary North, and George Grant for starters.

We're talking about the widow's mite as a sidebar. Somebody brought it up and I thought I would put my two cents in. hahahahah(sorry...)
