[QUOTE="Doublestandards, post: 6041440, member: 110123"] i think both of you mean well. It is a very interesting discussion. If I were to play devils advocate (no pun intended) we could really get into the debate and say “what qualifies as rich?”. To a starving kid in Africa, the poorest person in America may be considered rich. And [USER=24302]@vantexan[/USER] is right in that a lot of things in America that I appreciate so much came through capitalism I do disagree in the idea that taxing the rich more would halt productivity however. Do we really think Elon Musk would never have started his journey if we were ‘only’ able to be worth $500 million compared to his $44 billion? It’s very hard to comprehend how much a billion is, let alone $44 billion, but I really don’t feel a truly Christian government would be comfortable with that level of wealth gap [/QUOTE]
