If you are truly a christian, then you would support the type of government in which taxes are collected in order to care for the poor.
      To me, most of you anti-socialist here are pseudo christians, the plight of other less fortunate people really doesn't matter to you, so long as you can pretend to care, or so long as you can get something out of it for yourself, like the good feeling you get when directly and personally helping someone. If you were truly a christian you'd support the kind of government that would exist if Jesus himself were the head of it, not someone like Trump who, along with the republican congress, is still working at throwing 13 million people off of healthcare with his tax cuts for the wealthy policy.
      Perhaps "us people" simply know that we as individuals are responsible for helping others rather than merely sloughing it off on the government and muttering "that's what I pay taxes for."

      The next time you want to mindlessly blather and blither you might want to stop and ponder just how many of those you call "pseudo christians" [sic] have long histories of not only contributing to charities but also volunteering our time to help those in need.

              No, but Uncle Joe says you can become more patriotic by paying more taxes!

                The Jesus depicted in the gospels would be highly likely to look favorably upon such a person.

                    Er, by that do you mean the conservative religious leaders, aka the Pharisees?

                      The pharisees were ultraliberals who reinterpreted religious doctrine in a manner similar to the way you tried to reinterpret your inevitable and eternal doom earlier in the thread.

                        Well, according to you guys, Jesus would make Bernie sell all three of his houses, and give up his "top 1%" earner status!

                        Bernie would probably decline, and say (what was it Jimmy falsely reported the 'rich man' said?) 'it ain't gonna happen', the Jesus could go on to explain 'it's harder for a rich dude like Bernie to get into Heaven...".

                        So, Jesus would use Bernie as an object lesson in 'whose a loser'.

                                It does come from the same person that wants it legal to kill toddlers, so being dislike by such a person is a great relief.
