I doubt anybody—including Bachmann—believes we find “minutea of 21st century tax policy” in the Bible. What we do find there, though, are principles that point in a particular direction. We’re neglecting the Bible if we don’t look at modern problems, modern social ethics, modern politics and ask, “What direction does a biblical view of human nature, labor, and the purpose of government point?”

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.

It seemed to me that the author’s education and experiences were rather unbalanced.
