Clyburn, the son of a minister, refers to the plan as “tithing."

Then he wouldn't mind if even the "poor" 50% of the people who pay nothing now, also pay. The poor weren't exempted from the tithe in the Old Testament.

God himself only asked for 10% for the poor. Right now, if you add up taxes and mandatory government fees, the tax slaves are paying 50%. This clown wants us to pay more?
Choose thou, Clybern, who are you really serving! The entity upstairs, or the entity in the basement!

One more time ~ the claim that HALF PAY NOTHING is total BS and you know it.

The claim only had validity with respect to the FEDERAL INCOME TAX, and that tax was sold to the public on the basis that it would ONLY EVER APPLY TO THE VERY RICH!

Most of us want to GET RID OF THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX, and you want to expand it to the poor.

Your lack of a sense of history will eventually get you in trouble.
