Verily, this woman is calling for "progressive taxation".
Quote:
The Democratic socialist sensation emphasized that the highest tax rate wouldn’t be on all income but would affect the “10 millionth and one dollar” and beyond.
“So after you make $10 million in one year, your dollars after that start to get progressively taxed at a much higher rate. And really, what that is … at what level are we just living in excess?” she asked.

Progressive taxation? Isn't it a
good thing? If we look at the examples of
Godless UK,
Godless Scandinavia and other countries with progressive taxes, we can see how the wealthy fund the elaborate
health care and education systems that are, however used, for
Satanic purposes. The more there are taxes, including
progressive taxes, the further a country slides away from the pure Word of God. The
most progressive countries regarding health care and education are the ones with the highest incidence of secularization and, thus, populations that will spend their Eternity in
Hell.
What does the
Bible say? In addition to the verses so eloquently quoted by pastor Bathfire, we should remember that the
Bible,
Jesus and
God (as they authored the Good Book) support
regressive taxation!
Matthew 13:12
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
This is
unambiguous. The rich should receive more and more and the
poor should pay more for their sinful state. I'd say that the
minimum wage ($7.25/hour = $59/day = $1160/month) should be taxed at 70% and a reasonable Trumpian income (we can use the 10 million mark) should receive
tax exempt status.
This is necessary, because the
Bible tells us so. The poor can find solace in Matthew 6:19. If the GOP takes on regressive taxes as its main election agenda, the voters will undoubtedly abandon the Democrats and we'll finally have a
100% republican, Christian Congress to support
President Trump in His endeavors.
Yours in Christ,
