(Ir)religiosity

Another guy who wanted to spread the wealth around:

Contemporary application of Wesley’s advice would suggest that the U.S. Congress should reduce taxes on the poor and middle class, add taxes to luxury items, eliminate taxes upon necessities, introduce laws that govern the use of natural resources, and take steps to reduce the $10 trillion national debt—a debt that has increased by 71.9 percent over the last eight years.

Interestingly, it seems that most Methodists today have completely reversed John Wesley’s “Make all you can, save all you can, give all you can,” statement into a much more destructive axiom: make all you can, invest all you can, consume all you can.
