I think it shows how selfish we are! We are willing to harm another
instead of sharing the pain ourselves.

discuss my views on taxes. I've shared them before I imagine more than
one person here could tell you what I'd say.

Originally posted by KellyJayWell, no. You raised taxation as an example of "evil" on your own thread about "Who is an antichrist" so I have just one last question. If progressive taxation is "unfair" and therefore "evil", does it mean that you think progressive taxation is "sinful"?

Originally posted by KellyJayI daresay the "selfishness" is embodied by the billionaires who pay people exorbitant sums to keep from paying their fair share. And all of them propose that poor people pay more tax, through a "flat tax" or other means. This is selfish and disgusting.

Originally posted by KellyJayI don't want to turn this into a discussion on what a good tax policy would be. I am interested in your assertion that progressive taxation is "evil" and perhaps how opinions about taxation might help you to identify "an antichrist". Which Biblical passage do you have in mind to back your claim?
