By justice a ruler builds up the land,
but he who exacts taxes heavily tears it down.
Proverbs 29:4
We have the responsibility to vote for our rulers - and we should look for rulers who care about justice - punishing the wrong doers, stopping clear evils (such as abortion), and elevating the good (such as protecting the definition of marriage). And we should avoid those who want to "exact taxes heavily."
Pretty clear who to chose, wouldn't you say?

Interesting how heavy taxes are the opposite of justice. Never really thought of it that way before!
