A Biblical Tax Policy? One Governor Says Yes
July 2? What does the Bible have to do with tax policy? For Alabama Gov. Bob Riley, a lot.
Alabama's conservative Republican governor has created a new convergence of faith and politics. Citing his Christian faith, he's calling for a $1.2 billion tax hike, largely on the backs of wealthier taxpayers, for the benefit of the poor.
It's all adding up to the largest increase in the state's history, and perhaps the first based on the Bible.
"Alabamians are a faithful people who believe that creating a better world for our children and helping our neighbors are both sacred duties," Riley wrote in explaining his tax plan.
