In Dr. Dobson latest Family News letter he complains bout the US Government and taxes.
I like everybody else would like less government and less taxes.
BUT,
I have lived overseas for 10 years and have visited or worked in more than 30 countries and let me tell you I will take the US Government and taxes any day, yes- any day.
Maybe Dr. Dobson doesn’t know what it is like overseas but the USA has a lot going for it- from roads and traffic that work, to electricity, to food being available, the list just goes on. Americans and Dr. Dobson should feel blessed not abused. Live one day in Bangladesh and you would know what I’m talking about.
On the point of taxes, let us remember we pay the lowest taxes among the industrialized nations. Even, Dr. Dobson who doesn’t like to pay taxes to the government ends his newsletter by asking people to give more donations to his organization. Sounds a lot like the government- Please give us more money. Whether you are government wanting more taxes or a charitable organization wanting more donations- in the end it is the same thing- give us the money!!!
PS: Dr. Dobson, 100% supports the war in Iraq. That war is one of the reason the deficient is so high- because of the billions of dollars we are spending on the war in Iraq. You need to have taxes to pay for the war that Dr. Dobson wanted and supports. You can’t have it both ways- if you want an expensive war you are going to have to pay taxes to support it.

I couldn't agree with you more. We've got to learn that our mission is to serve God, and nothing else! For crying out loud, this is insanity.

But, if you need a book on the strong willed child. That might be another story. (not my sarcastic tone).
Hi Kevin. Hope you and all the Stouts over there are well.

Quite separate from our mission as Christians is our relationship to the government. We render to taxes to whom they are due. Honor, to whom it is due. Taxes are required, donations are GIVEN. If you don't like what Dr. Dobson says, don't give. He can ask as often as he likes, he does not live in Bangladesh. The government has the power to take, Dr. Dobson does not.
As a veteran, I did not take my mission to 'bear the sword to punish evil' lightly and it is not up for argument that that Muslim extremists are evil and would like nothing more than to destroy the USA, the Constitution and the Church. The military is there for that purpose, it is not a social program.
It is the responsibility of the church to preach and see to the needs of those placed in our care.
Dr. Dobson is a citizen and has rights to free speech and can protest taxes all he likes as long as he pays what is required of him. He is also a minister of the Gospel and needs funding to see to those placed in his care and see to his own needs as well.
