House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi doesn’t like the Republicans tax cut. No, not one little bit.
“In this holy time, the moral obscenity and unrepentant greed of the GOP tax scam stands out even more clearly…This GOP tax scam is simply theft, monumental, brazen theft from the American middle class and from every person who aspires to reach it,” she says.
So let me get this straight, Congress resolves to forcibly take less money from the people who earned it, and she calls this theft? Hmmm. I can’t seem to find that definition of “theft” anywhere in my dictionary.
Of course, as a daughter of the Roman Church-State, she’s simply regurgitating the social teaching of the popes in whose incompetent political and economic thought she’s been steeped, presumably from her youth up.
Two years ago when Pope Francis visited the US, Pelosi’s office released a statement that read in part, “Standing in the very heart of our democracy, Pope Francis spoke to the better angels of our nature and of the American people. He reminded us of our sacred and inescapable responsibility to those struggling to escape poverty, persecution and war. He challenged us to rescue our planet from the climate crisis that threatens the future of our children and the health of God’s creation – and to do so sensitive to the needs of the poor. His Holiness urged us to live our values and reach beyond our divisions.”
In other words, the papal Antichrist urged Congress to betray the interests American people by instituting a massive increase in the welfare state by pursuing the dangerous policies of the climate change globalists.
News flash, capitalism has done more to lift the poor from their poverty than all the puerile socialist pontifications of the popes ever have or ever will.
Private property and limited, constitutional government. This is the Biblical and compassionate formula for lifting the poor from their poverty.
Earlier in December Pelosi said of the GOP tax plan, “This is Armageddon.”
So I guess that means when Trump signs the bill into law, it’ll be Judgment Day.
It is amazing how when the Scriptures are understood correctly, they revolutionise our dealings in economics. I had never even thought about these things before reading Dr Robbins.
Thx for showing the link also between the Romanist view and the contrary teaching of Scripture on this topic.
You’re welcome, John. As with you, Dr. Robbins work revolutionized my thinking on economics and politics. Christianity is a system of thought, encompassing every area of life. But too often Christians – and I’ve made this mistake too – see the Scriptures as relevant only Sunday mornings, thinking that they must turn to secular experts on other matters.
It’s interesting, too, how the Roman Catholics doe a better job of teaching their people to view everything through the false lens of Roman Catholic Social Teaching than Protestants do teaching their people the truth of Biblical politics and economics. This needs to change.
