President Obama showed no reaction to Carson’s attacks, simply sitting stoically at the dais table. First Lady Michelle Obama also was in attendance.
“Our deficit is a big problem,” said Carson, who last spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast in 1997. “Sixteen-and-a-half trillion dollars. You think that’s not a lot of money? Count one number per second. You know how long it would take to count to 16 trillion? 507,000 years. More than half-a-million years to get there.”
“What about our taxation system?” he continued. “So complex, there is no one who can possibly comply with every jot and tittle of our tax system. If I wanted to get you, I can get you on a tax issue.
‘It doesn’t make any sense. What we need to do is come up with something that’s simple.”
He then discussed the biblical principle of tithing.
“God has given us a system. He didn’t say, “If you crops fail, don’t give me a tithe.’ He didn’t say, ‘If you get a bumper crop, give me a triple-tithe.’ So, there must be something inherently fair about proportionality.
“You make $10 billion, you put in a billion. You make $10, you put in $1,” he said to applause from the audience.
“But some people say, ‘That’s not fair because it doesn’t hurt the guy who made $10 billion as much as the guy who made $10’ — but where does it say that you have the hurt the guy? He just put a billion dollars in the pot. We don’t need to hurt him.
“It’s that kind of thinking that has resulted in 602 banks in the Cayman Islands,” Carson said. “That money needs to be back here — building our infrastructure and creating jobs. We’re smart enough to figure out how to do that.”
As for health care, he began, “We need to have good health care for everybody, but we have to figure out efficient ways to do it.”

Urgent: Should Obamacare Be Repealed? Vote Here Now!
The event’s keynote speaker, Ben Carson, the director of the pediatric neurosurgery division at John Hopkins Hospital, did not hide his political views (see “Second opinion” by Marvin Olasky, WORLD April 21, 2012). Delivering his second keynote address at the annual prayer breakfast, Carson began by reading from Proverbs and then attacked political correctness for muzzling people. “We’ve reached a point where people are afraid to actually talk about what they want to say, because somebody might be offended,” he said. “People are afraid to say ‘Merry Christmas’ at Christmas time. … We’ve got to get over this sensitivity. It keeps people from saying what they really believe.”
Carson also took on the nation’s deficit problem, its tax system, and the new healthcare law. With Obama sitting nearby, Carson rebutted the president’s call for greater tax revenues. Carson, instead, advocated for a flat tax system that wasn’t so complex.
“When I pick up my Bible … I see the fairest individual in the universe, God, and He’s given us a system. It’s called tithe,” said Carson, who added that asking wealthier Americans to pay a higher proportion is the “kind of thinking that has resulted in 602 banks in the Cayman Islands. That money needs to be back here, building our infrastructure and creating jobs.”
Carson also argued that a person at birth should be given a health savings account to which they can contribute pretax money.
“When you die, you can pass it on to your family members, so that when you’re 85 years old and you got six diseases, you’re not trying to spend up everything,” he said. “You’re happy to pass it on and there’s nobody talking about death panels.”
Last year, the remarks of keynote speaker Eric Metaxas’s generated a great deal of attention, as he aggressively attacked what he called “phony religiosity” (see “No pious baloney,” by Emily Belz, Feb. 2, 2012.)
With Obama’s policies and philosophies often at odds with social conservatives and evangelicals like Carson, the National Prayer Breakfast over the last five years has offered the nation a rare chance to hear the president describe his own personal spiritual life. His speeches here employ religious language and imagery that he doesn’t often repeat in other public appearances.
During Thursday’s appearance Obama quoted from Hebrews and called faith a process. The president said he often goes to the Bible to find ways to console the inconsolable and to determine how to best balance life as a world leader and as a husband and father.
“I often search for Scripture to figure out how I can be a better man as well as a better president,” he said. “And I believe that we are united in these struggles. But I also believe that we are united in the knowledge of a redeeming Savior, whose grace is sufficient for the multitude of our sins, and whose love is never failing.”
Blessings,
