Mr. Wallis, a registered Democrat, told the senators that the Bible contains more than 3,000 references to alleviating poverty.

The Bible is also quite clear that 10% of your income should be sufficient to address the problem. How will the demonrats squirm around that? Propose reducing taxes so that all transfer payments = 10% of income? I'd like to see them try (no, really, I would).

Duhh! I answered my own question. 10% IS sufficient to address the problem. It's the other 40% in administrative costs that keep taxes where they should (according to the rats) be.

I wonder how many Bible references there are to mandatory, forced redistribution of wealth from haves to have nots, with no success in alleviating, much less in eliminating, poverty among a society.

So the Bible includes references to TAX CUTS!!!!

Will democrats support this "religious" principle of low taxes now that the democrat (gay) party has discovered God?
