The U.S Supreme Court, in its ruling on Obamacare, declared that our federal government could tax the citizens for not buying health insurance. The precedent has been set. Logically and legally the feds can tax you for not doing something. As silly as it sounds that is where we are.
Since that is the case I suggest Congress pass a law that for every Sunday you do not go to church you will be taxed $100. How do you think the Left would like that one? They are alright with Big Government mandating health insurance and placing a tax on you if you don't comply. Won't they have to accept the same all-knowing, all-caring Big Government telling us to go to church or else?
I can come up with a lot good reasons why it would be good for you and for society as a whole. I could cite studies that say church-goers live longer and are less of a burden to their fellow citizens.
Now that I have offered up my own absurd idea for what the government could tax us for not doing, I am looking for your ideas. Bonus points if it is something that will really agitate the Left, like going to church. Comment here or email me. Should be fun.
Great blog John!! It would be amazing to be able to use the "tax" money that would be collected to further the kingdom of God!! (instead of government) Our Pastor said that the percentage of those that tithe is so low....imagine if all Christians tithed...what this country would look like. Our storehouse would be OVERFLOWING...no need for government entitlement programs...charity would take care of those in need. If we would only put our faith and finances in the hands of our Creator...amazing things would happen!! That would enrage the left for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks. You are right. Christians giving from their heart, by faith is the key. I learned when I lived in Germany that the people were taxed to support the Church...and no one went to Church. It was dead. And throughout history when the state tried to enforce support of the church it led to all kinds of abuses and problems. We have a great system in the U.S., freedom of worship. It is up to Christians to take advantage of it, to freely give, and to support God's work.
