Disciples of Christ: Matthew The Tax Collector

Matthew was a "publican" or tax collector for the Romans. Tax collectors made a good living. They were generally despised by their fellow Jews and merely tolerated by their Roman employers. Tax collectors were creative in finding ways to tax the people. Luke 3:13 states, "They overcharged [and] brought false charges of smuggling in the hope of extorting hush-money". Other ways of making money included taxes on axles, wheels, animals, roads, highways and admission to markets. Some even charged pedestrians taxes.

My favorite part is:

Many years later both the House of Israel (the ten tribes) and the House of Judah (the two tribes) were scattered by their enemies.  The House of Judah, the Jews, returned to the land God had promised to them, and occupies a portion of it to this day.  The House of Israel dispersed to the north and the west, settling in Western Europe.  Their independence, rebellion, and hatred for unfair taxation became the foundation of a new land many years later.

HEY BLIGHT! YOU LIVE IN THA MUTHAFUCKING PROMISED LAND 'N' SHIT!

Oh god, you get some crazy shit when you get into that territory. I saw a fundy fun hour show one morning years ago where they argued that same thing, and the proof of it was that British was a compound of the Hebrew words Brith and Ish so as to mean "People of the Covenant." I guess Ireland was supposed to be settled by the Tribe of Dan on the grounds that our gods were called the Tuatha De Danann. Funny enough, I heard on another fundy fun hour show that the Antichrist was supposed to be from the Tribe of Dan. Moral of the story, never fucking trust the Irish.

I think a pedestrian tax is an excellent idea for Boston, but only if you're unable to figure out crossing the street in a timely manner.

He has hardly soft-pedaled his principles. "For all the criticism of me, there's one thing you won't hear anybody say, and that's that I've pulled the wool over anyone's eyes," Cuccinelli tells TIME.

Good thing the Tea Party are all about fiscal responsibility and rule of law and shit.

Hahahaha

Of course, this really means we are all being investigated by the FBI, since, as the would-be Senate Witch so delightfully reminded us in her campaign video "we are all Christine O'Donnell".

Running for senate isn't an ancient magic ritual of personal enrichment?

Yes, poor poor X-ine--being crucified by the big bads of Delaware politics like Joe Biden (wut?) because she was just too righteous for them to take.

It is, but the ritual only works if you win.

"Here's what I do. I get on Amazon; I type in "Liberal Books". I go through and I say "one star, one star, one star".

Seems easy enough to filter against.

WASHINGTON — The Republican who will head the House committee that oversees domestic security is planning to open a Congressional inquiry into what he calls "the radicalization" of the Muslim community when his party takes over the House next year.

Representative Peter T. King of New York, who will become the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said he was responding to what he has described as frequent concerns raised by law enforcement officials that Muslim leaders have been uncooperative in terror investigations.
