gome i thank my friend from iowa so very much -- mr. gohmert: i thank my friend from iowa so very much. we think we're the be all end all in congress. as i said here over the week in the debate over the death tax, we had the power to pry money from someone's wallet when they're lying cold and dead. we have the power to do that. we do not have the moral authority to do that. but we even hear people, as they did last week and have in previous debates who play on some of our christian faith and said, well, you know, it sounds like the christian thing to do would be for our government to help everybody, take care of everybody. but you could go throughout the new testament and you'll never find one place where jesus ever said, go you, therefore, take from other people and give to someone else. he said, you do it with your own money what you earned, what you made, you take and you give from your own self. don't ever take someone else's money just because you have the power. you don't have the moral authority to do that. do it of yourself. and
