E214 Illegitimate Taxation

For the Christian, life is simple. God's authority outranks that of the king. The king is to do what God says, not the other way around. But for the secularist, what outranks the highest human authority? Herein lies the problem. An autonomous state will , in the end, commit overreach and the rights of the people will be trampled. This overreach is often manifested in the area of taxation. As Doug Wilson so clearly articulates, "When the ruling elites start to opt out of this societal bond—“laws are for the little people”—there is usually a time lag, but the “little people” do catch on. And when they catch on, the whole thing spirals down into chaos." We are living on the edge of that "chaos" today.
