If God himself requires only a tithe to finance the work of the kingdom, it could not be possible that he would authorize the state to exact a tax exceeding ten percent to finance the work of civil government. If so, then the state has no right to tax for the support of these things, and this makes such taxes an unjust seizure of the wealth of the people. Property tax is a claim of ownership by the state. Third, the philosophies of Marxism, communism, and socialism are dedicated in principle to removing all landmarks in a nation. The landmark set the bounds for private property.
Landmarks are a testimony to the existence of private property.
The goal of these anti-Christian world views is to eliminate all private property and thereby eliminate all landmarks. In theory, the ownership of the land and all property passes from the individual to the group, but in reality all is claimed and controlled by the state. Perhaps the most powerful, single law in the Bible that stands against communism and socialism is the law of the landmarks. Fourth, God's wrath is against all magistrates and governments that steal the wealth of the citizens. These bandits will neither endure nor triumph.
