In that debate, one of the members of the audience asked him if he understood the dangers of state sponsored prayer in public schools. The questioner was not satisfied with Lapin's solution. Lapin asserted that the CDF is working toward preventing circumcision by requiring an informed consent form, by the child, once he has reached the age of majority. Lapin reiterated that the liberal left is responsible for our nation's ills, not the Religious Right. In perhaps the most astounding assertion of the afternoon, Lapin asserted that taxes are unbiblical.
Taxes make people a slave of the state.
Lapin reminded his predominantly Christian audience that in the Prophets of the Jewish Bible, the prophet Samuel, through God, warned the Jews of the pitfalls of having a king, but the Jewish people wanted one, nonetheless. Among the pitfalls was that the king might tax as much as 10 percent of the grain and vintage, and 10 percent of livestock. Lapin asserts that many Americans are paying up to 50 percent of their income to the government, which in essence creates a form of slavery. Individuals are forced to work up to six months each year for the state. I believe with all my heart that our army is on the road to victory.
