  Assuming that anything in the Levitical laws was equivalent to a modern redistribution of wealth shows how willing Liberals in Christianity are to twist scripture in their search to justify modern Socialist/Communist concepts. Nothing in scripture remotely resembles how Liberalism claims to be helping the poor. For example, farmers were supposed to not harvest the edges of their fields so travelers and the poor could find food. Ruth and her family gleaned fields to find food because only a single harvest was allowed so the poor could eat. That wasn't a tax, it was how as a society they lived God's love.
  
  The God used five dinner rolls and two fish to feed 5,000 is offering us His power to do mighty and marvelous things that demonstrate His love and power. So, why would we imagine seeking to use corrupt human power that is dedicated to the destruction of faith to do the works He wants us doing?
