Al, So the Christian doctrine may not deal with "high taxes"... but it does by projection in terms of what you can do with that money...

True. In fact, the Bible makes it very clear that one should be a good steward of the money he or she does have. Thus, "fiscal drunkeness" is very un-Christian, and Bush shares a large part of the responsibility.

What is high? Relative to what?

High relative to historical standards. High in the sense that an enormous portion of the nations is wealth is being controlled by government. Yes also high relative to the staggering deficts because the taxes are much higher then the deficits although both are too high.

compassion for the less fortunate IS part of the teachings of Jesus, aka bush's hero?

Compassion and charity, not theft from one to give to another.
