Joe Biden decided to double down on his ridiculous statement from this morning that patriotic
people wouldn’t complain about paying higher taxes. Instead of simply
shrugging it off or backing away from the statment, as almost anyone
else would have done, Biden instead justified higher taxes by making it
a duty — as a Catholic
I’m really beginning to believe that Joe Biden got his Catholic
instruction from Father Guido Sarducci and Sister Mary Elephant.
Leaving aside the ridiculous notion that a politician poses as a Catholic on social issues and still supports abortion, Catholics are taught to act as individuals
to assist the poor. Nowhere in Catholic doctrine (the catechism) can
one find the notion that taxes are required for this purpose.
And speaking of Biden’s Catholic duty, he seems very free at
confiscating the money of others while demonstrating little charity on
his own. His tax returns show an average of $369 a year
in charitable contributions, a miserly 0.3% of his income. If Biden
wants to help the poor and downtrodden, then he needs to start by using
his own resources before going after the pocketbooks of others.
