Syntax

Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,
Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve;
Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.
--Bringing in the Sheaves

Render therefore unto Caesar
the things which are Caesar's;
and unto God the things that are God's
--Matthew 22:

I'm going to Graceland,
For reasons I cannot explain
There's some part of me wants to see Graceland
--Graceland, Paul Simon

Ranger has been mulling over ways to pump money into this economy that will not hurt the little people. Obama's latest round of spending cuts won't put much of a dent in the deficit.

Since we levy a heavy Sin Tax, why not a "Grace Tax," as well. Since the Lord wishes to prosper his faithful, they might even be better poised to kick in a little extra to the national coffers. Surely, since God is such a patriot, he would be happy to have his brethren shoulder a civic burden in His name.

The Grace Tax would come in the form of the church paying property taxes on its not-immodest real estate holdings. We must put aside eternity for this moment, and live in the here and now. Ur-messiah Eckhart Tolle can shepherd us on this earthly plane, and we would then have the Oprah acolytes on our side.

God owns a lot of primo real estate. Tax Him like any other good citizen and see that deficit dwindle.

Hallelujah! Can I get an "A-men!"?
