I'm not quite sure where the term "middle class" came from. I can never remember using it in any conversations I've ever had. In fact, the only time I hear the phrase is when some politician is speaking. From the context of the speech, I am quit | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story Middle-class money earned by middle-class people working at middle-class jobs goes to Washington DC to be used by "middle-classist" politicians for everything but middle-class concerns. When will the insanity stop? In the Old Testament, the Jewish law required that every seventh year be a year of rest. Although I am not Jewish, I think there is something to be said for this kind of rest. I propose that the middle-class be given its due sabbatical. How many years have we've been working and then giving our money to Washington DC? We deserve a rest. If these "middle-classist" politicians look so kindly towards the middle-class, why not give all of us middle-class people a sabbatical where we do not pay any taxes. We certainly will work, but all the money we would normally send to Washington DC, we put in our own pocket. Now, that's change I can believe in. In fact, I have biblical authority for all of this. Authority from the mouth of Jesus himself. "And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marveled at him" (Mark 12:17 KJV). Not all those “middle-classist” politicians in Washington give a second thought to the middle-class. I think it is about time we gave them as much thought. I believe the primary problem in America is that we no longer know what belongs to Caesar what belongs to God. If we can ever figure that out again, "happy days are here again." Tweet
