The left have always believed in spending other people's money. There is no Christian enjoinder to support high and unreasonable levies from governments who are supposed to be our servants and not our masters.
Taxation is today so high as to be a form of abuse. We have to work entirely for the government until June 3rd - Tax Freedom Day. Inheritance Tax raids the bereaved AND targets monies on which tax has already been paid.
In OT times the tithe was for religious and social reasons.
Little wonder so few Christians justify tithing today. Shame on them when leftwing governments spend their money so effectively and with such wisdom!
High taxation saps the lifeblood from society; destroys initiative; encourages people to work less; discourages investment and works only to the advantage of the feckless.
