because he dosent want you to steal from one person to give it to another. if you want to bring up what jesus wants then you better get on your knees, he wants your worship. if you want to help the poor so much then i suggest you sell everything you have and give it to the poor and then go follow christ, otherwise youre just a flippin hypocrite.
Taxes aren't theft.
If they are, please rationalize why its okay to "steal" from citizens to give to the military.
taxes are theft unless voted on and agreed to by those who would have to pay the tax.
stop trying to force people to bow to your intrusive government, Jesus wants you to bow to him.
Oh, so you do agree that taxes taken from people who don't want to fund the military are theft. Good to know.
Jesus wants you to stop hating the poor.
