INCOME TAX DAY On this day of internal revenue some of us are paid up, some of us owe, some of us await a refund, some of us have no income to tax. But all of us are taxed, by war, by violence, by anxiety, by deathliness, And Caesar never gives any deep tax relief. We render to Caesar….. to some it feels like a grab, to some it is clearly a war tax, to some – some few it is a way to contribute to the common good. In any case we are haunted by what we render to Caesar, by what we might render to You, by the way we invest our wealth and our lives, when what You ask is an “easy yoke”: to do justice to love mercy to walk humbly with you. Give us courage for your easy burden, so to live untaxed lives. Prayers for a Privileged People - Walter Bruggemann, 2008
