Coffee Addict,
Regular bachur is 100% correct.
The Torah does tax jews and takes away their hard work earned money – which is really their Heaven sent money – and gives it to the poor. Leket, Shicha ,Peah, Terumos, Maasros, Maasar Aniyim, Challah, Bekurim, Bechoros, Shmitta, Tzedaka …
If you do not fulfill these mitzvos, you are stealing.
This is not a Republican vs Democrat issue. Both sides agree that the government will never get a penny out of anybody unless they tax it and take it from them. Nobody trusts that a rich person will altruistically help out the poor.
The issue is that the republicans are soley for the wealthy and do not care about helping the poor. People could die in the streets due to lack of healthcare and they wouldn’t care less.
Republicans are examples of big givers to the poor ? Show me.
They are all for tax breaks and the wealthy keeping the money for themselves.
(Our POTUS is a prime example of this selfish republican behaviour. He and his family are forbidden to run a charity in NY because he has stolen from his own charity and not used it for the poor. )
