So we can't trust the rich to have our best interests in mind, that wipe out using charitable contributions as a rebuttal. I'm fairly certain my CEOs don't work 100 times harder, produce 100 times more opportunities or live 100 times happier lives than the average worker either. What about unequally increasing the tax burden on inheritance and investments of the rich. There we are asking the rich to take voluntary pay cuts which seems terribly idealistic and ineffective. Do we just need a robin hood to rob the rich and give to the poor? Maybe not necessarily all the way down to socialism, but in at least a more equitable distribution?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
