I have to take exception with Huckabee’s comment:
“I think they are going to have a hard time going out into the pews and saying tax policy is what Jesus is about, that he said, ‘Come unto me all you who are overtaxed and I will give you rest.’”
I’m sorry but I think a case could be made against raising taxes on the grounds of excessive spending, excessive taxation and the unfairness of targeting one group. I can’t understand why anyone would want to reward this Congress with more money to throw around like drunken sailors. If the money actually made it to the poor instead of a huge government bureaucracy, I might be tempted into agreement but knowing that our government wastes so much of the money that they collect, I feel no compunction to vote for those who would take more.
