Rick Warren Derides The Tax Paying Poor As His Church Pays No Taxes

Rick Warren Derides The Tax Paying Poor As His Church Pays No Taxes: "The nation’s tax system offers many benefits to every citizen and none is more important than a sense of contributing to America’s greatness that is shared by ever person who is not a 10-year-old child who is unable to work or purchase anything with their own funds. Although taxpayer dollars fund the military, police and fire protection, roads, bridges, and myriad other government provided benefits, the sentiment of investing in America should help bring people together with a sense of mutual participation in maintaining a great nation. Ever since the rise of the teabagger movement, there has been a fallacy that half of Americans do not pay any taxes and it has led teabags and their ultra-conservative brethren to decry the lack of involvement by the poor in having any value to America. Last Monday, a super-wealthy Christian preacher joined teabaggers in criticizing poor people, seniors, and many lower-middle class Americans for advocating raising taxes on the top 2% of Americans who continue receiving tax cuts regardless that the country’s economic status is less than wonderful..."

To have a 'man of God' say something like this pisses me right the fuck off. What a hypocrite. Warren, I suggest that you go read Matthew 25. I'm also glad I've never read your book A Purpose Driven Life. Especially since it was written by a filthy hypocrite like you. >:(
