Why do Bible-clinging conservatives object to taxation?

According to the New Testament didn't Lord Jesus taught you to give to Obama what is Obama's :





';Show me the money used for paying the tax. They brought him a US dollar and he asked them. Whose image is this? And whose inscription? US President's they replied. Then he said to them. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's';Why do Bible-clinging conservatives object to taxation?
Oh boy... the answers to this ought to be funny.Why do Bible-clinging conservatives object to taxation?
Thanks once more for continuing a stereotype that has negative connotations.





We (conservatives) know that we are going to be expected to pay taxes. This is what citizens do in a free society. Yet, at the same time, there IS a limit to how much is fair to be taxed. If the current administration wishes to tax the population for doing well and prospering, then is that not lowering the incentive to work harder, create and desire to grow a businesss or for industries to then stifle their own growth so that they won't be taxed but so much? If the administration wishes to see further out-sourcing, then by all means, keep upping the tax rate.





But the taxes need to apply to all, even the snobby liberals. NO loopholes, ok?
If you read the lead in to that scene, you'll find that the Sadducee's, or was it Pharisees, anyway, were out to trick him, so they could get him arrested. It's been a long time since I've read the Bible or been around any Bible-clinging conservatives. But for sure Obama and the Caesar's are worlds apart as to the ability to wield power. Obama has zero control over money. He's just a spokesperson.
This ';Bible-Clinging Conservative'; doesn't object to taxation.... just the rate at which we are taxed and for what.... I mean seriously we might as well be paying for Nero's palace the way we are going... As long as taxes are going to infrastructure, parks, education, law enforcement and state/national defense I have no problem with taxes because they go to the common good.... But why the hell do I have a percentage of my pay check taken out for things I will never even think about using let alone use?
The really hilarious thing about right wingers is that they ';hate taxes'; - but they get to pay the taxes for the HUGE Super Rich - like Chase Bank which doesn't pay taxes. So toothless, trailer dwelling, religious fanatic republican types get to pay the taxes for these totally worthless rich guys! And that's on top of the Bush give-aways to the rich.





And the funniest part is that the right wingers see this as ';freedom';.





Selling the right wing dolts of America on the idea that they 'don't have to pay taxes' is one of the greatest phony sales jobs the republicans ever did.
Jesus didn't instruct anyone to stop objecting. He instructed them to pay (as opposed to the alternative, not paying, which is what they were hoping to hear). It's interesting because the Jews were taught that it was not proper to pay tribute, that all tribute belonged to the temple. Jesus instructed them to pay both Caesar's and the temple's tribute.

The reason is because even though modern American conservatives try to tie their beliefs and the Bible together, the link actually doesn't exist. If you look at what Jesus (not Christianity) taught, you will see that he was everything bible-clinging conservatives hate- a lover of peace, tolerance and equality, someone who was against wealth being concentrated in a handful of individuals, and, above all else, someone who was completely against those who use religion and God to put others down.


Conservatives in America want a ';traditional'; society with a powerful military- that means no gays, no abortions, no drugs, no welfare, but a big military and a strong police force. Conservatives want taxation and a bigger government just as much as liberals, just they want the taxes to go to different places. The US's military budget makes up 50% of the entire worlds (we spend close to $500,000,000,000 a year on military) and yet they still have the audacity to shout for lower taxes- ha!
It's not objections to taxation. We agree with our founding fathers and understand that ';Government is at its best a necessary evil, and at its worst an insufferable one.'; We oppose unnecessary, unfair, outrageous taxation without discussion or reason. Taxation without representation is a motto that has full right to come back into play with these elected officials acting in their own best interests and political favors instead of in the best or even common interest of those they were elected to represent.
Where did you get the idea that we are against taxation? We are against PUNITIVE taxation... Taxation that is only there because some are ';able to afford it';.. also the fact that those that didn't pay any tax got a ';tax rebate'; How does one qualify for a rebate they did not pay anything for?
“Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.” So Jesus said, ';Pay your taxes and quit your whining.';





';There's only one thing a conservative hates more than fair taxation. And that's a fair fight.';
I don't object to taxation, it is excessive taxation due to excessive spending that I object too, you should be upset about it too. We need to stop supporting our parties more than we do the good of America, and our fellow Americans.
i think the point is if whoever wants this world badly enough, let them have it. we have something better waiting anyway.





and it is over taxation that is the problem, not taxation.
Bible-clinging. you sound like a bigot.








You miss the point of that passage entirely. It is ment to say that Caesar will be judged by God for his greed. In other words Caesar will get punished in the end
Long live President Caesar!
What do you think we left England for. We are being over taxed now and it will get worse. We do have to pay bills other than to the tax man. Wake up.
I havent read the bible since I was a kid and I am conservative.





F you and your pussy cant take care of yourself attitude.
We should repeal the 16th Amendment.





Taxes should be up to each state, not on the federal level.





But, I do appreciate your humor.
We object to over taxation and unfair taxation!
I have NO IDEA....





They would be the FIRST to PROCLAIM to be ';Hard Working Tax Payers';!!! To prove how ';American'; they are.





YET they are the FIRST to COMPLAIN about taxes.
Sounds like you are trying to kill two birds with on stone. Christan and conservatives.
Nice fiction there!


Plus, it's not Obama's money!


For that matter why do you oppose it?
Tax money is being foolishly spent. That is what I object to
The problem is, our money is not Obama's .
you work for free, do ya???
I'm conservative and I'd do my damndest to cut Caesar's eff'n arm hand off for trying to take the proceeds of my labor.





So screw the Bible and Caesar at the same time.





Pigeonhole that.
