What Would Jesus Tax?
There's a good bit of controversy between Christians about economic issues -- often boiled down into overly simplistic viewpoints of
Jesus wants us to help the poor, not the rich, so we should tax the rich and give to the poor!
Or
Jesus loves capitalists because capitalism is freedom!
Guys, it just isn't this simple. If it was, I think we'd have more specific economic direction (I mean specific macroeconomic direction that the Treasury Department should use) in the Gospels.
I appreciated this article because the author tries to work through some of the complexity.
