Back in 2003, the Governor of Alabama called for drastic increases in state taxes. The Main Lame Stream Media was silent despite the fact the good governor, Bob Riley, invoked the Bible in his quest to take more from the people. He said that it was his “Christian duty” to hike taxes by 22% to help the poor people. Riley further pontificated that “Jesus says one of our missions is to take care of the least among us… We’ve got to take care of the poor.”
Based on the above statements, it is still a mystery why the leftists did not go into orbit. Meanwhile, with crickets over the religious statements uttered by the governor. While in his role as an elected servant of the people, an official public used religion to push a tax increase. The governor was making these statements when the media harangued Judge Moore of the Alabama State Supreme Court. He was battling to keep the Ten Commandments monument in the courthouse. That further illustrates the duplicity of those who worship the non-existent “wall of separation.” They were in high gear over Moore but silent about Riley. It seems like the commie Woke ideology of today is a religion in disguise.
The Bible does indeed say we should take care of the poor, and it is a noble thing to help those in need. As a voluntary act, charity gives the donor control and mitigates fraud. Taxes, a forced act, at best include wasteful government costs to administer these programs. At worst, it is fertile ground for corruption. We know what happens when people refuse to pay their “fair share.” It would be interesting to see how many people clamoring for more taxes for the poor have taken tax rebate checks and placed that money into a charity. In a recent conversation, a specific person who will go unnamed said the socialist programs to help the poor people do not make us a socialist nation—what a bunch of inane intellectual sophistry.
As we know, Biblical tithing is 10%, but most families already give up close to 40% of their total income because of the copious amount of open and hidden taxes. Today, taxes are a tithe to the Woke religion. It is prudent to ask how much of this taxation, which is four times the Biblical amount, goes to the “poor.” Then, it is also relevant to ask how much of Governor Riley’s tax increase will go to the largesse to administer these programs for the “poor.” The answers are in the wind.
The latest trick is to create unlimited money out of thin air in the form of trillions, with some of it going to “charitable” causes. The debt is well above 21 trillion and climbing. Despite what we hear in the Woke schools, media, and academia, this fiat currency is the sole cause of inflation. It is a hidden tax. Your author has said it many times and will continue to say it. It is not a matter of if but when you will spend $10.00 or more for a loaf of bread. Oh, it will be Trump’s fault. Dear Woke readers, are you happy now? Also, for sure, Biden’s cancellation of Trump’s cancellation of money for abortions is a jubilant affair. Of course, it is all about charity for the children.
Our good friends who worship the wall of separation between church and state are the same folk who believe that a big government can help the poor. That may explain why they were silent about the governor’s Biblical call for more taxation—like Democrat candidates who can go to churches unfettered to get votes. That is another example of the selective application of the wall of separation.
Taxation or other means of taking away from the people make a nation “Christian”? Then we must ask ourselves the status of the more repressive governments. To the disdain of our big government lovers, the people who have lived under Communism can tell us all about their nation’s “Christian” status. The stark reality — the ordinary people in these regimes have most of their income plundered away by the government. These governments always have not and always will not produce more wealth for the poor. They make more poor people. Socialist nations are close behind. The nanny-state works until it eats up everybody’s money. It also takes away your spending power via the hidden tax called inflation.
It is known that nations with the most freedom and the lowest taxes have produced the least amount of poor people. Except for the Vatican, there are no “Christian” nations today. But those based on Judeo-Christian precepts have the highest living standards on the earth. But we know corona-doom fixed that, and of course, it was Trump’s fault.
A free-market system with a limited government can best take care of the poor people. For those who do not subscribe to these facts, it is proper to ask about the well-being of people in the “socialist” nations. “If you think Sweden is socialist, then you know something that just ain’t so.” 1
Those who disagree with the concept of a free enterprise system will never realize their ill-conceived notions — just like the Antifa creeps who use tools and supplies made by the capitalist system to do their evil deeds. But alas, “Ben & Jerry’s even set up a truck that passed out free ice cream scoops” at CHAZ. 2 A splendid example of charity.
Many people with this worldview have good intentions and believe that the only way to help the poor is more social programs. Still, the facts indeed are eternal; history proves the best. That is a decentralized society based on a free-market economy with a representative government. That is the system that will produce the least poor, and as such, it is the most humane.
Are there problems with capitalism? There are because people administer all systems, and people are all sinful. It is so important that society self-impose morals, values, and principles. That mitigates the propensity of people to become corrupt with power. It is also important that the government enforce anti-trust laws to assure competition in the free market system.
May this author suggest that we not throw out the baby with the bathwater when dealing with corporate corruption? We must work to restore our nation to its virtuous state (minus bigotry of ALL types). We need to decentralize government and corporations. That is in line with the concept of the balance of powers that our founders gave us during the birth of our beloved nation. Today in post-USA (USSA) we have the Woke corporations that use the Caustic Cancel Culture Pogrom to fake their way to charity for select uncharitable causes. Nasty stuff.
As seen by what is occurring in our society today, we know that people are becoming increasingly morally degenerate. The typical reaction is for more government controls (bigger government). Rather than fix the root of the problem (morals, values, and principles), many react and clamor for more government. That is nothing more than the personification of our continued slide toward total socialism (Communism lite). It is all a part of the ideological subversion program, as explained by KGB defector Yuri Bezmeno’s warning to America.
Some non-woke folk may get out of their stupor after watching Yuri. But now, with corona-doom and the 2020 riots, this truly is more relevant than ever. As a realist, your author concludes that it is already too late, as few will listen to reason. Never mind, Joe-Joe-B promises all you need, no worries. But wait, there is more. We have the dual presidency with Kamala Harris’ Salami Socialism.
But wait, there is even more about co-president Harris. She is an anti-Catholic bigot, as evidenced by her treatment of U.S. District Judge Brian Buescher. 3 During the December 5, 2018, confirmation hearing for the Nebraska District Court seat, she displayed her bigotry. In a very hostile and condescending manner, she highlighted his longtime membership in the Knights of Columbus. The Knights, a fraternal Catholic organization, adheres to the tenets of the Catholic faith. Harris and Senator Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, both harangued Buescher. They highlighted the Knights’ (peaceful) opposition to legal abortion. Hirono asked whether Buescher would be able to decide cases such as abortion and same-sex marriage “fairly and impartially.” Of course, we heard no mention by the duo of the numerous charitable projects that the Knights carry out.
Now for the closing. For something to quench your dry mouth caused by the above readings, how about this newly formulated fructose-free Kool-Aid flavored drink: Wonderful Woke Wild Watermelon Wishniak.

She is openly anti-Catholic in confirming federal judges, wanting to prosecute the Little Sisters of the Poor, closing Catholic Hospitals that don’t join her union allies, and favoring taxpayer-paid abortions up until birth (in fact, she has twice voted against bills that would ensure that babies who lived through abortion procedures get medical care).”
