| Render unto Caesar |
I come from a capitalist country, that did not experience a recent recession, which has private and government programs to cover 100% of people with affordable health care. Now I live in America where a quarter of my income pays health care insurance and my grown working children cannot afford health care coverage. If they have a major health crisis, what will they do? The government cannot solve the problem and the privatized health care Caesars demands high tribute. Sooner or later human government fails. Thankfully, we are not under an even more oppressive regime such as the ancient Roman Empire. Jesus was, and in Matthew 22:15-22 he was asked whether or not it was right to pay taxes, implying to a government that was a miserable failure in human rights. His reply? Render to Caesar what is Caesars.
