James Martin: "The US will soon face the consequences of a TaxBill that takes money from the poor to give to the rich. Those who voted for it will face consequences later, when they are judged. Do you think Jesus's words about being judged on how we care for the poor don't apply? Think again."
Eric Erickson: "The Bible teaches it is an individual responsibility to help the poor. Shame on those who’d pass off their personal obligation to the government."
Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg: "If the Bible is so against systemic solutions to poverty, why is a jubilee year declared that releases people from debt to alleviate intergenerational poverty? What is leket, skikhah, pe’ah, and maasar if not taxes meant to create a safety net for those in need?"
Jeet Heer: "This is excellent. Salient point is Jesus can only be appropriated by right libertarians by systematically suppressing his Jewishness."
