Content: The progressive tax is an attempt by progressives to create a moral equivalence between Progressivism and Religion. But it does not equate. Religion creates a moral imperative to care for the poor or risk losing salvation. The key component for a religious charity is that the value be given freely without coercion. Certain Charities perform services that cannot be duplicated by government, they are all voluntary. ALSAC/St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Shriners Hospital are key examples. I believe in this. People who have more have a moral obligation to give more. But when they give it must be voluntary.
