From Daily News-As Christians prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, lawmakers on Capitol Hill who talk a big game about their faith passed a morally grotesque tax bill that makes a mockery of Christian values. Republican leaders in Washington have long worshiped at the altar of free-market fundamentalism — and reverently recite the dubious creed of trickle-down economics — but this gaudy handout to the rich is a festival of greed that will deepen already scandalous levels of inequality.
If the last will be first in God's kingdom, tax policy written by and for corporate lobbyists and members of Congress who will be enriched by their own legislative handiwork ensures that the privileged few are once again favored over the common good.
