TODAY'S TAX SYSTEMS - And How They Will Be Changed - Jeff Calkins - April 1981

Jeff Calkins

Tax time, as one poet called it, is "the cruelest month." While you're thinking of taxes, ask yourself how God views them - and then realize God has something far better. Nothing is so certain, so the saying goes, as death and taxes. Don't be so sure. Taxes are not eternal! In the World Tomorrow, man's taxing systems will be junked. Replaced by God's tithing system that has been in force from the beginning of human life - but of which most people know little or nothing! There are big differences between taxes and tithing. Man's system of taxation is progressive." That means the percentage of tax goes up as your income goes up. If your taxable income is relatively small, your tax rate is small - in the U.S. system, about 14 percent. If it is large, say $100,000, your rate can go as high as 70 percent. God's system is far more intelligent: it is a flat percentage system. The word tithe means "tenth." A tithe of anything is the tenth part of it. It is a constant proportion. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
