Expect it to arrive here, if it isn't already present. I made the
statement, years ago, that the two fairest taxes are the sales tax and
toll roads. It isn't fair to tax those who have (owners of real estate)
to provide for those who never tried to have or had some awful
priorities such as throwing their money away on booze, broads or drugs. :-)

"Income" is a terrible tax because it punishes a person for trying to
accumulate something, while letting those in black market trades get by
without paying it.

Bootleggers, drug dealers, prostitutes, con men and spies all spend
money. Therefore, the sales tax collects from ALL regardless of the
source or legality of their income. Likewise, the road tolls. The
roads are paid for by those who use them. If you order something by
mail or truck then you help to pay for the roads, indirectly, because
the user (truck lines, etc.) has to pass the tax along to his customers.

BUT!!! Wicked men will attempt to find a way to abuse anything.
Ecclesiastes 10:2 tells us, "A wise man’s heart directs him toward the
right, but the foolish man’s heart directs him toward the left."

[New American Standard Bible : 1995 update. 1995 (Ec 10:2). LaHabra, CA:
The Lockman Foundation.]

This might explain a lot about the choices politicians make!

Another verse comes to mind. II Timothy 3:13, "But evil men and
seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." KJV / AV

Also, Scriptures tell us that the most wicked of all kingdoms is coming,
is going to be very short lived and after that Jesus Christ is going to
set up His kingdom ON THIS EARTH! This is what has the wicked so
frightened. They FEAR and TREMBLE at the thoughts of Jesus Christ
setting up His kingdom on this earth and their actually having to give
an account for all the wickedness they have done.

I believe we are entering those times right now. Christians will be
persecuted from ALL "legal" systems. It is very difficult for them to
get justice in the courts already. Scriptures tell the Christian to
train up his children in the way God would have them go. The courts
tell them to let some atheistic, unionized, God hating goof ball train
them in the way the state wants them to go. It's "legal" for a woman to
pay some Christ hating jerk to rip her child from her body and flush it
down a toilet or sell it's tiny body parts. It's "illegal" for a person
to stand on a sidewalk and attempt to talk a woman out of having her
baby butchered that day! Go figure!

It's going to get MUCH WORSE before it gets any better.

HOWEVER, God protected the Hebrew Children, descendants of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob, from EVERY ONE of the plagues He brought up Egypt.

God protected the three Hebrew boys INSIDE the fiery furnace.

God protected Daniel IN the lion's den.

Read Matthew 24. Don't expect the "secret rapture" that so many of the
churches tell us about. Read Hebrews 11. God is ABLE to deliver, but
some went through some awful tortures in the past and the future will be
even worse. God will provide the strength and stamina for the faithful
when the time comes.

I noticed in the paper recently that Elizabeth Dole, a "right wing
conservative" - MY EYE, is planning to vote for CAFTA (?) Central
American Free Trade Agreement. Remember that it was her husband, Robert
Dole, who PRETENDED to be against NAFTA but when the time came he did
the arm twisting to get it pushed through. But that's a whole new
topic of its own! I'll not go with it yet!

It does tend to show that step by step the whole earth is being formed
into that ten-toed kingdom made of iron and clay (non-cohesive) which
will attempt to overthrow God and His kingdom.

Stay tuned! It's like a trip to King's Dominion. It's going to be a
very bumpy ride, but it'll be a lot of fun when God's plan is finally
worked out. Actually, it's being worked out now. He's a GREAT CHESS
PLAYER! He's just letting Satan *think* he is winning - for a while. :-)

Hope this helps.

Drifter,

Yeah, the British government is considering scrapping fuel tax and
replacing
it with a new road charge based on the distance and time motorists
travel.
And now they want to remove Bibles from hospitals (see attachment), and
now
a crucifix has been taken down at Newham General Hospital’s chapel in
East
London. Instead, there was a bowl used by Muslim worshippers to wash
their
feet before they pray. This last stunt was reported in the Daily
Express on
Saturday, June 4. Please pass this information on to anyone you know.
If
it’s happening here, it will most likely happen in the United States (if
it’s not already happening). Christians cannot let this sort of thing
happen. The move by the hospital was condemned by the Evangelical
Alliance
last night (the article continues). General Director Joel Edwards said:
“It’s particularly hard to understand – bemusing – as other faiths have
never shown or expressed any disquiet about the presence of Christian
literature and specifically the Bible being on display. In a
multi-faith
society we have a responsibility to ensure that people of all faiths
have
room to express their faith. But to do this to the exclusion of
Christian
faith is not only absurd but is ludicrously unequal.�
