"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." (Matthew 19:24)

I would like to see everyone have the possibility of going to heaven and that is why I advocate that the rich be taxed to a point that they are no longer rich, thereby making it easier for their soul not to burn in Hell fire for all of eternity for being greedy bastards.

God bless Obama and some of the democrats for doing the Lords work by advocating that the Rich pay their fair share.

Obviously if they are still rich they are not charitable enough. It would seem that they need a little nudge. Do you want them to go to Hell. Shame on you.

maybe you should be more versed in the bible rather than the liberal line. no matter what they are or are worth, man shall be judged by Jesus with the book of life.

By abvocating stealing off of others just because they have more than you, you are supporting yourself going to hell..

If the Rich loved their neighbor who is without and shared their wealth, it would not be necessary for a tax; however, because we love even the rich who have been greedy bastards we still want them to go to heaven so we are simply showing that love by making it possible for them to get there.

I think they should pay a fair tax based on what they have to protect. You have more you pay more.

I have nothing, so I shouldn't pay anything. Instead I pay income tax and have my Social Security and Healthcare threatend by the effectivly untaxed Aristocrats and their deluded minions.

then you should be in favor of the fair tax, meaning everone pays the same amount, after the 16th Amendment is repealed and all IRS workers are fired.
