We don't live in a monarchy. The government doesn't rule us, the government serves us. In a monarchy, the assets of the country belong to the monarchy to use as the monarch sees fit. In a democracy or representative republic, the assets of the government belong to the people to use as the people dictate the government should use them.
It is not for the government to take our money and use it as it sees fit. The people are able to determine to who and to what causes their money should be given.
With self determination comes responsibility. We all have that same responsibility that God placed on kings.
The liberal approach is to put the government in charge and then to say the government is responsible for addressing issues of poverty and disease, which works out even better for them since most of them are voting to use other people's money to address their own issues as well as others.
And he took ruling power away from one king for failure to do so.
Did he punish the king for failing to be generous with what God had given him, or for failing to be generous with what God had given others?
