Isn't surprising to see a very liberal author using the Bible to prove the need for redistribution of wealth? Well here as an example of just that.
The sad part is this idiot (Thistlethwaite) doesn't even come close to understanding the Bible.
She thinks charity is taking money from one person and giving to another. That's not charity or altruism at all.
Charity is the giving of one's OWN resources. If this idiot understood anything about the topic she would know that.
This line sums it up nicely; "You can’t be altruistic with other people’s money. Taking money from one group of people and giving it to another group of people is not altruism, even if a majority of people vote for a program that does it. It’s theft. Theft by “majority rule” is still theft."

I’m a liberal who‘s says it is class warfare and it's about time! If we had waited much longer the conservatives would have succeeded in the redistribution of all of our nations wealth to the upper-class.
I'm betting that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Prove me wrong!

From where did the money originate?
Who printed it?
Who decided what it was worth?
How did it get from the printer to others?
Is it regulated or can an unlimited amount be printed?
Is it's use restricted? If so, by whom?
Are there any terms and conditions to have it?
Is there just one kind of money or can anyone print their own kind? Why?
The answers to the above would establish that to have and use 'money' is an agreement to, among other things, be taxed.
