What does my faith tell me?

Chances are that you have spent some time in a church, synagogue, or mosque, and that while you listened you picked up on a theme: Love God, Love your neighbor, and Help those who has least among you. One specific verse from Deuteronomy 15:7 says, "If among you, one of your brother should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, but you shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need." The truth is that the Abraham tradition command that we help the poor and needy, which means that a regressive tax system is not just bad for economic growth. It is also in violation of the religious values to Love your neighbor and to help those who has least among you. Thus, Texas Impact calls for the creation of an income tax that embodies the religious values of our organization.
