I am a Catholic Christian. Therefore I rebuke the coerced distribution of property by the state or anyone. I instead promote its moral opposite and utilitarian superior: CHARITY. I can not, in good conscience or philosophical consistency, condone both.

By the way: Where did Jesus say that the state should assume ownership of the fruits of your labor, and that the state should decide how much of said fruits you can keep? (Hint: He didn't say it in Romans 13.) That's exactly what the income tax and death tax imply.

We Catholics should pursue the abolition of the income tax and estate tax, as we pursue the abolition of abortion and preemptive war. "Reform" in each case is a compromise with evil and a fool's errand.
