We tried massive corporate tax "relief" for 30 years, always on the notion that this is what is vital to the mass creation of family-supporting jobs. We see the results all around us today. Obviously, this is a tremendously costly strategy(costing more than our former welfare aid programs for the poor) that has been purely counter-productive. The US has experienced a dramatic decline in the quality of life as a result, and no longer have a competitive edge.

Southern Baptist Head: Christians Should Be Involved in Politics

I think Christ's teachings are antithetical to US politics and culture. Embracing Christ's teachings, as explained in the Bible, would result in dramatic changes in our country. We would put our strengths and resources into bringing peace instead of fighting our serial wars. We would aid our poor instead of using public dollars to pay off the tax responsibilities of the rich. We would feed the hungry rather than throw surplus food in the trash. And so on. No harm can come from mixing Christ's teachings with politics. The destruction comes when we mix something more like hard-line puritanism, with an excessive dose of arrogance, into our politics.
