Hey Christian bitcoiners please I’m looking for feedback:

Have you ever compared Americans today to the Israelites in Egypt or other value markers?

25% tax at harvest time (Israelites had farms and harvests)

God says that is slavery and they must leave.

Jacob works for 7 years times 2 but then leaves for his homeland with great wealth plus his 2 wives (multiple estates, he later gives his brother herds of sheep)

The Bible says he had an “apprenticeship”

Americans today pay taxes about 50% with inflation and property and sales and everything factored in. It takes 10-15 years or longer to own a single house with average income saved and paid in cash.

Are Americans today not in worse condition than Israel under pharaoh?

Israel under Pharaoh? Probably not. Life was pretty harsh for them for 400 years. Even in our own debt slavery, we are distracted from our plight by a relatively easy and comfortable life.

It's probably more comparable to life under Nebuchanezer in Babylon.

Not so directly as this, but I do find it terribly arrogant that a government would presume it has a right to a greater portion of our incomes than God commanded people offer to the priesthood (tithing, etc).
