3. Categorically unfair: Rather than a “progressive” tax (which means the more you earn, the more you’re punished), a flat tax is the only FAIR tax, where everybody pays the SAME RATE (and yes, this means “the rich” will still pay a great amount of tax).
From A Biblical case for Proportional (flat) taxation by Jeff Hammond In a proportional (or flat) tax system, every dollar of income earned that is taxable* is taxed at the same rate. Thus every individual is treated identically by the tax code. There is strong Biblical support for treating people impartially, and in an opposite way, strong condemnation for showing partiality or favoritism. This is because we are supposed to image God, and God is impartial.
Romans 2:11 states clearly that God shows no partiality with respect to salvation, (see also Deut. 10:17, Acts 10:34, Job 34:19, and Eph. 6:9). I agree that this is not conclusive, since it isn’t directly talking about taxation, but it does give us an idea of where God’s heart is for how we treat one another. There is a reason why Lady Justice is blindfolded.
However, there are other passages which take us closer to the heart of the matter. Lev 19:15 says “‘You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly.” In this verse, we are told that not only should we not favor the rich, but surprisingly, we should also not favor the poor (see also Ex. 23:3). But why should we think this has applicability to taxation?
A main purpose of Leviticus is to show how the Israelites can live a holy life. Chapter 19 is the pinnacle of how we live holy lives in relation to others, and the commands are given a solid reason—“I am the LORD”–which is repeated throughout the section.
Interestingly, Ch 19 is widely viewed as repeating the Decalogue; clearly Leviticus is summarizing the essence of what Holy Living looks like under God’s moral law. In the middle of this section on Holy Living, comes verse 15, which describes what justice looks like. Do we treat each other according to their just due?
Lev 19:15 helps us understand that a standard for personal holiness will be reflected in a standard for corporate holiness. As John Hartley says in the Word Biblical Commentary, “Since God is just, his people must establish justice in their courts as the foundation of their covenant relationship with him. The inner strength of a nation resides in the integrity of its judicial system.”
While, this is not dealing with taxation, it is dealing with justice in the social setting of the courts—it seems reasonable to conclude that if impartiality is required for the courts, it would be required of government action in general. At least the burden of proof should be on those advocating for a system of partiality, given the extensive Biblical support of impartiality.

Gavin Newsom and his wife love being alive to pursue their pleasures. Yet because they reject the Bible and the Bible’s definition of love, they hate “unwanted” preborn babies.
So, as a “good Democrat,” Governor Newsom is again using your taxpayer dollars to torture and murder tiny boys and girls inside their mommies. Sold out to the devil, Newsom conveniently forgets he was in the womb once too.
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) signed into law on Wednesday a $90 million infusion of funds for Planned Parenthood clinics to make up for federal funding cuts from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
California lawmakers approved the one-time funding boost on Monday. Newsom said at the bill’s signing ceremony that it has been a “point of pride” to assist Planned Parenthood.
Standing behind her husband, Siebel Newsom appeared visibly annoyed as Newsom fielded questions about the state’s troubled high-speed rail project and his planned trip to Munich. As the questions continued, one woman in the group of speakers began chanting “protect women, Planned Parenthood.”
Siebel Newsom could then be heard telling her husband she wanted to speak, before stepping forward and moving him aside.
“We just find it incredulous that we have Planned Parenthood here, and women are 51% of the population, and the majority of the questions, all of these questions have really been about other issues. So it’s just fascinating. You have this incredible women’s caucus and all these allies, and you’re not asking about it. And this happens over and over and over and over again,” Siebel Newsom said.
“You wonder why we have such a horrific war on women in this country, and that these guys are getting away with it, because you don’t seem to care,” Siebel Newsom added. “So I just offer that with love. But these are — you have incredible women in this room, and you have these allies. Ask about what we’re here for today, don’t you think?”
Throughout Scripture, God affirms the value of every human life — from children in the womb to the elderly … One of the most commonly quoted verses is Psalm 139:13-16, which says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” This verse is often cited to reference the biblical teaching that life begins at conception. Another verse that is often cited is Exodus 20:13, which says, “You shall not murder.” This verse is used to argue that abortion is the taking of a human life and therefore violates this commandment. “Bible verses about abortion,” Bible Study Tools 11/8/24

Why are Californians stuck with the unfair, racist Prop. 50?
The U.S. Supreme Court’s one-sentence denial of the Trump Administration’s emergency appeal petition on Feb. 4 means that Republican candidates for U.S. congressional districts in California will suffer confusion and loss (Feb. 9 is the start of the window for congressional candidates to file paperwork declaring their candidacies).
Why did this happen? Because the 6 “Republicans” on the U.S. Supreme Court have apparently decided to let individual states redraw congressional districts mid-term. They let Texas do it on Dec. 4, and now they’re “being consistent” to let California do it too.
Thus, the “chickens” on the nation’s high court have avoided applying to California’s Proposition 50 the “equal protection” or “due process” clauses of the 14th Amendment and the 15th Amendment’s prohibition of voting laws elevating “race” and “color” above others.
Hopefully, President Donald Trump is learning that he needs to nominate constitutional fighters, not politically-correct “conservatives,” like he did his first term. For there’s a big difference between Texas getting rid of racist maps and California promoting racism and breaking other laws in its Prop. 50 scheme.
SCOTUS’s cowardly deed means California Republicans will likely lose five congressional seats. And while some principled conservatives are happy to get rid of some RINOs, SaveCalifornia.com has consistently opposed Prop. 50 for its unfair gerrymandering.
As for the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, I think it will likely hold this year, since there are more Republican states doing redistricting than Democrat Party states. But since Congress has so many RINOS — Republicans In Name Only — who vote for the Swamp and with the Democrats — the bigger question is, will our Republic hold?
It’s going to be a wild and vitally important election year — and your active participation is definitely needed!

Contrary to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ nutty claim that Republicans are trying to “steal the midterm elections” by redistricting in Texas, state legislators there are trying to correct what the Justice Department correctly calls “unconstitutional racially based” gerrymanders … Contrary to the discrimination claims they’re making in the press, it is these errant Democrats—not Republicans—who think there is nothing wrong with judging how people will vote based on the color of their skin and who want to preserve the racist redistricting.
