    You were talking about actual economic cannibalism? like tax the morbidly obese?
    Doesn't consuming someone else's money turn your stomach as much as consuming someone else?

    They've obviously consumed more than their fair share. If not for the obese, there would be no hunger.

    Dude, you're the one posting about cannibalism and eating fatties.

    Umm, no. I think socialism is wrong and doomed to failure while cannibalism is abhorrent.

    I couldn't help but laugh. I've seen a lot of absurd post's over the years, but this one probably tops them all!

    We can start with you? To many people in the world you are wealthy and obese. How would taxing the wealthy end poverty?

    I am 5'8" and 150 Lbs. I have enough money to live on, and support my family, for the rest of my life. I am neither obese or wealthy. I have personally earned less than ten million dollars over the course of the last thirty three years in business out of the many, many millions we have done in business over those years. I am as far from the 1%ers as I am from obese.

    As this is a Christian professing nation, why not just obey the Bible's laws and have all rich people sell what they have and give it to the poor?

    I disagree. I do not infer that from the bible. I do not believe that the bible implies that.

    there are numerous quotes in the Bible to prove it
    but then, it is binding on professing Christians so if you are not one, it does not impose this on you

    Any portion of the bible is good for instruction, but no portion of the bible is good for conclusion.
    Conclusions should only be drawn from the full counsel of God's creation.

    A lesson professing Christians on the far right should learn and obey.
