There are legitimate reasons to criticize the GOP tax plan. Here, on the other hand, is a very illegitimate reason I’ve heard countless times from liberal Christians: The Bible wants us to pay higher taxes in order to help the poor. By receiving a tax cut, we are taking money away from the poor. Especially by cutting entitlements, which is supposed to be the next step for Republicans in Congress, we are shirking our Christian responsibility to care for the least of these. This is the “Christian” argument for Socialism, and Christian socialists have been making it for decades.
It hasn’t gotten any better with age.
