That's a relief--I thought you were saying Christians would take up arms against the Republic to avoid helping the un-American poor.
No, but I may add that the middle and working class in America is in no position to start equalizing global poverty. That money
must come from the upper class. We are already under attack and dont have a lot to give away.
Note that I referred to "un-American poor" rather than non-American poor. We should definitely put our own house in order first. Besides, with hundreds of millions of Christians globally, the poor should soon be fine.
My vision of economic justice does not require higher taxes on the working/middle class--quite the opposite.
Much could be achieved by changing spending priorities: more for infrastructure, less for oil and gas subsidies; more for health and education, less for weapons systems even the Pentagon doesn't want.
In all likelihood, taxes wouldn't have to go up for anyone if the wealthy and the corporate actually paid the current taxation rates.
