Why should Christians care about tax?
We often hear that we should pay our taxes because Jesus told us to. Give to God that which is God, and to Caesar that which is Caesar’s. Say your prayers and pay your taxes. Such a theology of taxation and loyalty to government has been used by some states to encourage Christians to quiet compliance.
