Why would I tithe? I'm not Jewish. Furthermore, anyone with a knowledge of Judaism knows that the tithe was an income tax. Well, I am not a Jew in ancient Israel so I am no more bound to pay the tithe than I am to pay income tax in Sweden. To whom do you suggest Christians give the tithe of Num 18:24, as we no longer have the Levites? Since you hate Jews, I am not surprised that you do not know these things. However, if you are concerned about my income tax payments, I assure you that my marginal income tax rate is somewhat above 10%. You must be grateful that Dubya made a 10% bracket just for you. > I certainly hope he never intends to run for political office.

But yes, I am sure the journalists are going to get all riled up about my comments condemning income tax and supporting a strong foreign policy. A candidate like that would never get more than 60 million votes in a national election. http://tinyurl.com/643sy Oops. -- Kevin "This is the best election night in history."--Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe, Nov. 2, 2004, just before 8 p.m. EST
