Well, I certainly think there should be a faith dimension in the issue of taxation. Actually I think there should be a faith dimension in every issue. As for "parroting Leftist lies", the man simply sounds to me like he wants to help people. There isn't much wrong with that. I have no problem with his objectives, just the route it seems he wants to take to get there.
Rather than insult him, I think the correct response is to point out that if he really wants to improve "education, healthcare and support for the vulnerable" the correct response is to divert resources from "government programs", which fritter away wealth for very little result, and instead reduce taxation and regulation, and thereby let the engines of wealth, business and industry, flourish and grow. Budgeting issues will suddenly look very easy when the country is wealthy again.

To Leftists like this guy, the solution is always more money through higher taxes, and any attempt to curtail increases are met with bitter calumny.
