I do so sincerely apologize, kj. My response was tongue-in-cheek, and I forgot you had had a humor-ectomy and no longer recognize a wry comment. Forgive me, my learned friend.
I'm not offended, I don't want an apology, I just disagree with the idea represented by rolando (and implied by others). I hope that's ok.
Stevie, the discussion had clearly broadened from the original "rich people bad" argument. I think what was being suggested is that our gov't can promote a more egalitarian society through the use of taxes (hence rolando's mentioning the tea party). I won't argue for or against that goal, but I will say that Jesus was not suggesting anything like that. kj.
