It is not theft because the rich have representation in government. If they feel the tax code is unfair, they can contact their representatives. They can hire lobbyists to influence Congress.

Theft is when you put a gun to someone's head and make them give up their wallet. There is no advance notice and no implicit agreement between the parties ...[text shortened]... rnment. For them to whine about theft after getting all that is an abuse of the word 'theft'.

You are talking about armed robbery, which is a form of theft by taking.

A thief is a person who steals another person's property, esp. by stealth and without using force or violence.

It seems clear from some of the parables that Jesus told that He believed in capitalist principles.
