Well in that case I hope you make a lot of money with that business brother, perhaps one day you will end up having to pay 40 percent of your income to the government, like some of us in the U.S. Then, when you try to read the tax code regarding your business or employees and find that it's so complicated that an well-educated human can't even understand it, then you can come back and bash brother Hovind some more if it makes you feel good. This might prove to be a special blessing to you and strengthen your admiration for the whole process. When they take 40 percent of your income and use it for things like Planned Parenthood abortions and $650 million for digital-TV coupons, I want you to come back here and tell us how spiritual it makes you feel and what a blessing it is, okay? God bless you brother, best wishes for your success!  Meanwhile here's an interesting article...

I have to post here and clarify this statement, for I know that Bro Chette will not puffeth himself up in regards to his "business" as Bro Parish called it.
Chette is a pastor of a Church in the Philippines, A Church built, established and supplied by
faith , preaching the Glorious Gospel of Christ in one of the last regions where the Gospel has not been heard, I am quite certain they suffer hardships and trials that we in our own comfort DO NOT. Persecution from government, LACK of money, growth of insurgency in their area so I would say that not paying taxes does not tip the scales into balance there. I posted to clarify that Chette is in service for the Lord and NOT running a business.
I felt personally that there was no need to end a biting quote with "God bless you brother, best wishes for your success" it didn't read genuine
to me.
Bro Chette has posted that he wish no further on this subject and offered apology where he felt convicted to do so.
Bro Parish I suggest you do the same and let the subject end.
