    You are again confusing an ideology with specific nationalistic government. In a
    country of Christians governed by Jesus, who would oppose the paying of the
    taxes to feed the poor, the heal the sick and shelter the homeless? You would
    not need a police force to enforce it, people would- by virtue of their
    christianity- think paying these taxes are not only moral, but a religious
    duty.

    Right?
