STRIKE!

This is a strike I can get behind!. In the US, the so-called rich are forming an informal union and threatening to strike. The purpose of the work action is to depress their wages below the proposed $250,000 top margin. These people feel singled out and put upon for being productive and are refusing to be cash machines for the government. ABC in its ongoing effort to teach class envy and hate has questioned the fairness of this action. Indeed, the network asks if it is fair that a rich person limit their income by working less.

I don't think these people understand that this is not their money to refuse. As I learned from a language prof (initials D.D.) at Regent College, the money is not theirs, it is the state's money and the rich have no say in how much tax to pay or in this case how much they should earn. If these people seek to manage their affairs and limit the power of government, they don't have the love of Christ in their heart (thanks P.L.). This, I also learned at Regent College: Big, powerful, controlling government is the sign of Jesus blessing, unless that big, powerful, controlling government is run by the wrong political party.
