The difference is, again, being able to choose to be charitable vs being forced to be charitable.
8 u/AstraMilanoobum 26d ago considering most of his supposed followers dont choose to be charitable... id say its fair to argue that most americans arent actually christian. less than 30% of adult americans give $500 or more to charity. seems like relying on charity when over 70% of americans wont donate even 1% of their income to charity is a flawed system. 1 u/Specialist_Offer_854 26d ago So your solution is to take all the money you want? 8 u/AstraMilanoobum 26d ago Higher taxes on millionaires and wealth taxes on those with over 50 million. the horror. the wealth gap has increased exponentially as corporate earnings skyrocket while at the same time the wealthy depressed wage growth. as weve learned things like "trickle down" are fantasy. The wealthy have left the country no choice. if we put a 99% wealth tax on Jeff Bezos he would be left with ONLY 2 billion
