Wow...If you can repudate something which Jesus Himself said in the GOSPELS, then there's no limit to which Scripture you can disregard then...

You're just twisting Christ's words out of context. Jesus was outraged at the tax and spend Pharisees of the time of His earthly ministry. These statist LOOTERS CONFISCATED the wealth of hard working REAL Judeans and spent it on GOLD PLATED nanny state projects like PUBLIC BATHS instead of the letting the invisible hand of the Free Market solve the Iron Age leprosy crises.

So tell me something, dear friend: How much money does the Vatican't have?

Taxes arent all bad - they help preventing homelessnes. let's look at some statistics:
First off. find a country with a high tax rate. Denmark. Now - compare.
We'll just take a random american city, say San Francisco.
San Francisco:
Tax Rate: 10-35%
Number of Homeless folks:7-10.000
Total Population: 815.000
one in every 82-116 is homeless
Denmark:
Tax Rate: 40-60%
Number of Homeless folks: 4.500-5.000
Total Population: 5.500.000
1 in every 1100-1222 is homeless.

Higher taxes is not always a bad thing.

Take the reefer out your mouth dude and listen to some facts.

Society depends on the the Rich to keep the economy going. Rich people buy the stuff that keeps Americans employed like Italian marbles, French wine, pink Himalayan rocks salt and Egyptian cotton sheets. Human trash like the poor aren't going to by stuff like that. No they are just going to waste that money on off the rock clothes and cheep food from McDonald's. It makes no sense to tax the rich since we are all dependent on them.

PS Just say no to drugs

I am just looking at facts, and they speak pretty clearly. If the homeless are all bad people spending their money on stupid things, why not get rid of them?
The statistics speaks for themselves - 0,08% (Denmark) vs 1,22% (USA). The american number is 15 times higher - the danish system is clearly working. Or maybe the danes are just more capable at earning money than the americans.

Because first, who are we to judge them? God will starve the scum to death in a slow and horrible way on His time. Second, the moral example the poor provide. No one would be virtuous if there was no penalty for being immoral. If all the poor were gassed and killed everyone would forget how disgusting a poor person really is and they would go right off sinning again. No, only by stepping over the body of a bum slowly dying in a filth filled gutter can a virtuousness man know he is one of the good.

Great, then i guess we just worked out that god will starve and less Danes than Americans therefore making a higher percentage of danes virtuos.

Nobody is getting gassed nor killed, there are quite simply a smaller percentage of danes, who are getting punished by god.

I assume in the perfect and right-believing world nobody would be homeless, because god will not punish anyone believing in him. this would mean, statistically speaking, that Denmark is more righteous than America?
