Yeah the State taking 20-50% via taxes and then another ~10% via inflation is a different dynamic than people tithing in 1900 before all these taxes.

In a way it’s more about practicing the virtue with intention than checking a box

Jesus asked “Whose image is this?” When looking a denarius. And said then give back Cesear what is Cesears and to God what is God….Taxes ain’t new

No one said they were. My comment was about the degree.

Right--they're not new--but they have always been associated in Scripture with slavery or people who aren't the rightful landowners. (Hence my handle, which is taken from Matt. 17:24-27).
