Very cool. We need more things like this. In my experience the deep issue with Christians and taxes is the endocrination from the state. Logically it is hard to argue against taxation being theft. That said, Jesus told us to love our enemies. This doesn't make their actions right or moral. I think we over think this topic. It's simple. Pay your taxes to avoid prison and your witness being harmed. But do not shy away from calling theft theft. Speak the truth in love. Taxes are evil because they steal wealth and at best waste it. At worst they use it to cause harm.
