The Wall Street Journal reported that major U.S. "securities and investment-service firms" are ready to break the record a second year in a row for pay – compensation and benefits – to employees. Last year these companies dished out $433 billion; this year the projected total is $448 billion.
. . .
But evidently this wasn't enough to satisfy the highly paid employees. First they complained that the newly adopted reforms would limit their bonuses – bonuses that would have increased their compensation even more. And then, along with other wealthy folks, they've now become highly incensed that their tax rates will revert back to those in force during the Clinton administration – that is, before the tax cuts of the George W. Bush administration – as they were supposed to by bipartisan agreement.
It's an injustice, they claim. It's taking away money to which they think they're entitled.
Greenfield takes them and the Tea Partiers to task for their misreading of Luke 18.
I think Greenfield is being too generous in his criticism. I think they have torn Luke 12:15-21 completely out of their Bibles.

John Calvin was never accepted by the Catholic Church in any sense, except as another sinner needing redemption.
His leading people into heresy and away from the Body of Christ has been one of the major heartaches for all good Catholic saints who have worked so hard through the centuries to repair the damage he has done to innumerable souls in cutting them off from Divine Grace through severance from the Church.
One saint in particular, St. Francis de Sales spent his life as a missionary, and subsequently as bishop of Geneva trying to reconvert (with great success) those who had been led astray.
The Jesuits were founded, as a religious order, specifically to help combat the heresy of Protestantism.
I was saved, I am saved and I am being saved. Yes, but only GOD knows who they are.
