Obamanomics Illustrated

clipped from eagleviews.org Yes folks we do have a car salesman in the white house. And yes folks he does believe that increasing the cost of doing business actually increases business. And yes folks he believes in spending more money then you have and getting less for it is also good for America. And yes folks he does believe that raising taxes will actually stimulate the economy. Would you like tires for your car? You do know they are an added extra, that will cost you another $3000 because of the environmental impact tax to pay for their later disposal. Do we have a deal?

Tax Day Has Arrived

And here I thought I lived in a "free" country

Taxes are first mentioned in the bible in the command (Ex 30:11-16) that every Jew from twenty years and upward should pay an annual tax of "half a shekel for an offering to the Lord." This enactment was faithfully observed for many generations (2Ch 24:6; Mat 17:24).

Afterwards, when the people had kings to reign over them, they began, as Samuel had warned them (1Sa 8:10-18), to pay taxes for civil purposes (1Ki 4:7; 1Ki 9:15; 1Ki 12:4). Such taxes, in increased amount, were afterwards paid to the foreign princes that ruled over them.

In the New Testament the payment of taxes, imposed by lawful rulers, is enjoined as a duty (Rom 13:1-7; 1Pe 2:13, 14). Mention is made of the tax (telos) on merchandise and travellers (Mat 17:25); the annual tax (phoros) on property (Luke 20:22; Luke 23:2); the poll-tax (kensos, "tribute," (Mat 17:25; Mat 22:17; Mark 12:14)); and the temple-tax ("tribute money" = two drachmas = half shekel, (Mat 17:24-27; Compare Ex 30:13)).

We Surrender Mr President

I am not really sure who surrendered to whom. It would appear the United States has surrendered to terrorists. But I could be wrong.
