Why Wealth Distribution (Socialism) Does Not Work
Recently, I was speaking with someone who began to say that the ultra wealthy do not pay enough in taxes. The individual then asked me (as a tax professional) for my opinion on this issue. In the last few months, you have no doubt been aware that the amount of income...
Evolution, Communism and Christianity
In this post, we will consider evolution and, in particular, its role in Communism and how it is differentiated from Christ and Christianity. Evolution is purported to be a scientific theory on the origin of the universe and is commonly credited to Charles Darwin....
Only A Strong Church Stands in the Way of Communism
