Why cash only on Fridays? (serious question, I'm not trolling). I would think that using cash as a default would be more effective

Barry Goldwater described it well in his book; “Conscience of a Conservative.” The government taxes heavily, then gives small portions back in the form of “needed services.” He focused particularly on public education. Property taxes for ALL residents go to school systems that require a fraction of the total to operate. They give back SOME of it to run the schools. This traps parents into believing that they MUST send their kids to government schools because they are forced to pay for them. “If they would give vouchers, maybe I’d put my kid in private school…” so many parents say. Guess what? The same thing happens in churches! When the LBJ admin passed legislation prohibiting political speech in the pulpit, how many churches became silent on politics to save their “non-profit” status? Bowing at the idol of the almighty tax exemption, virtually ALL churches became silent on political issues! Do you see a pattern, here? If God’s teachings belong ANYWHERE, it belongs in our selection of government representatives! The government taxes what it wants to limit and gives favors to what it wants to grow. And, parents….even churches, submit!! No wonder God has taken his hand off America!
