This is an interesting thought that I picked up that I thought I should share. He makes an interesting point, and you have to read the entire part to get his whole view, you cannot stop half way through.

Obama recently quoted Jesus to justify taxes. He says he interprets the words of Jesus “To whom much is given, much is required.” to mean that those who work and are of faith shouldn’t take issue with giving to those who don’t work.
Given? I don’t remember any hard working American ever being given anything. Obama’s remarks are the result of a long tradition by liberal pseudo-intellectuals who believe that it is the duty of some to give to others. They justify this philosophy to themselves by seeing the world only in terms of “have” and “have not’s” and seeing those who produce not as individuals of great merit but as individuals who produce at the cost of another.
A government who takes from one man to give to another can always depend on the vote of the moocher and the resentment of the producer. It is the Liberals that rely upon the vote of the morally corrupt envious moocher and Conservatism that stands for hard work, great moral character, and protection of freedoms.
A Liberal like Obama will stoop to any low to justify taxation. Perhaps he should not take Jesus out of context. He was speaking of charity to your fellow man. NOT of charity to your government. It is the American people who are the MOST charitable people in the world. It is the Republican Party that is the most charitable demographic in the country.
Why not quote Jesus more accurately under the circumstance? “By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return” those would be much more accurate to the teachings of Christianity and any other major religion.
