Tax cuts are not the Solution

People are saying that we need tax cuts, but taxation is not the real problem; the problem is salvation. When people expect the government to provide salvation, the government has to take a big chunk of their income. As people demand more and more form the state, it will have to take more and more tax to pay for it. As long as people look upon the state as god and saviour, high taxation is inevitable.

Every god demands sacrifices; because salvation does not come cheap. Jesus paid with his life, for full salvation. The New Zealand government needs billions of dollars a year to provide a fairly ordinary salvation.

The only way to reduce taxation is cut back government expenditure and that will not happen until the world finds a better saviour.

Well, true... ish. Wouldn't agree that 'The New Zealand government... provide[s]' any sort of salvation at all; but I see what you mean.

Still tho, isn't it true that any attack on taxation is, in effect, an attack on the false god that supports it?
