How Do You Determine What Is a Person's Fair Share of Taxes, Other Than by the Ballot Box and a Gun?
Gary North
Protestant evangelical Jim Wallis, the Social Gospel's #1 advocate today, says it's only fair that the rich should pay more -- as if they haven't since 1914. He is now advising Obama. . . . keep reading


Isn't It Risky to Become a Cheerleader for a New President Based on His First Major Speech?
Gary North
Aren't you making the same mistake that Reaganites made with Reagan in 1981? What if the same problems remain in 2012, the national debt rises by 50%, and double-digit price inflation returns? . . . keep reading


Why Is an Additional $787 Billion Federal Government Deficit the Christian Way of Helping the Poor?
Gary North
It comes as no surprise that Jim Wallis favors the proposed $787 billion economic stimulus law. It also comes as no surprise that he does not approve of the tax cuts in the bill. . . . keep reading


Why Are You, Rather Than James Dobson or Jerry Falwell, the Most Representative Spokesman for "The Religious Community"?
Gary North
Jim Wallis speaks of the "Religious Community" -- capitalized -- but he never defines it. There is a reason for this: What he calls "The Religious Community" is not the enormous group that is represented by Dobson and Falwell. It is a tiny Left-wing political action group. . . . keep reading


Why Is It Immoral for the Government to Cut Taxes for the Rich When the Rich Pay Most of the Taxes?
Gary North
Jim Wallis promotes the myth that tax cuts for the rich are unfair to the poor. The fact is, the poor pay almost no taxes. Cutting taxes for the rich does not hurt the poor. . . . keep reading


Why Is the Social Security Tax (FICA) a Biblical Requirement, When the Bible Speaks of Taking Care of Our Own Parents?
Gary North
Jim Wallis takes the commandment regarding taking care of our parents and turns it into a moral justification for taxing strangers to take care of our parents. Paul even forbids the church to care for widows who have relatives to pay for them. The State has no legitimate role here. . . . keep reading


Why Do You Invoke the Jubilee Year Law, When That Law Rested on Israel's Genocide of Canaan?
Gary North
Of all Mosaic economic laws for a liberal not to invoke, it is the Jubilee law. Not only did it rest judicially on genocide, it authorized inter-generational slavery. It was annulled by Jesus. Yet the evangelical Social Gospel crowd always invokes the Jubilee Year to defend wealth-redistribution. . . . keep reading


Why Do You Keep Hoping that Federal Money Won't Undermine the Independence of Every Private Agency That Takes It?
Gary North
There is no more reliable slogan than this one: "He who pays the piper calls the tune." Welfare State liberals have never believed this. They always believe that their constituents can take taxpayers' money and not be called to dance to the government's tune. . . . keep reading


Why Don't You Trust the Poor and Private Charities to Provide an Escape Hatch from Poverty Without Government Money?
Gary North
Welfare State liberals do not trust the poor to find solutions on their own without the helping hand of a government bureaucrat, preferably Federal. They define "family" as "a parent, a child, and a government bureaucrat." . . . keep reading


Why Didn't Clinton's 1997 Reductions in Federal Welfare Funding Cause the Predicted "Hurricane" for the Poor?
Gary North
In 1997, Jim Wallis warned of a "hurricane": a looming reduction of Federal welfare money. The sky was about to fall. Of course, it didn't. Poor people are resourceful, contrary to welfare State liberals. They adjusted. Welfare State liberals have yet to adjust. . . . keep reading


Why Do You Confuse the State, an Agency of Violence, With Society, the Product of Voluntary Activities and Liberty?
Gary North
Jim Wallis, like all Social Gospel welfare statists, confuses the State with society. He calls on the State to improve society by taking money from the rich and give it to the poor (minus 50% for handling). . . . keep reading


Which Evangelical Leaders Have Joined With You in Your Social Gospel Crusades?
Gary North
Jim Wallis lives in a fantasy world. He actually believes that American evangelicals are showing moral leadership in the fight against global poverty, HIV/AIDS, human trafficking, and sustainability of God's earth. Has he ever watched Trinity Broadcasting Network? . . . keep reading


If You Are Opposed to War, Why Did You Call on the United Nations to Invade Iraq?
Gary North
Basic to Jim Wallis's positional marketing strategy is to identify himself as a peace-loving man who is opposed to war. But his commitment to economic coercion always trumps his position as a peace activist. The man is committed to organized violence. . . . keep reading


What, Exactly, Is a Moral Federal Budget?
Why is it moral to allow the government to spend a trillion dollars on defense, when a "moral" postwar budget lets the same government buy votes with the money from then on? . . . keep reading


Why Are Family Values Strengthened by Sticking a Gun in My Belly and Telling Me to Hand Over My Wallet?
Gary North
Jim Wallis has an answer for poverty: "Thou shalt not steal, except by majority vote." But he is terribly frustrated. He can't get a majority to confiscate even more wealth from the rest of us. . . . keep reading


What Biblical Passage Gives Any Share of a Man's Inheritance to the State?
Gary North
Jim Wallis worries that the Republicans may pass a law revoking the death tax, which steals a man's inheritance from his children. He invokes the prophets of Old Covenant Israel to support the death tax. But he cites no verse. Where is that verse? . . . keep reading
