Luck, Grace, and the 47%

We are having a relatively* sophisticated national conversation about taxes and economic policy, but under these points of view are deep theological assumptions, which we are not talking about.  Reflections on earned and unearned grace, the prosperity gospel, makers and takers, individualism and community, and who, really, built that.  (*Relatively compared to our usual conversations, which are pretty shallow.  It's a low bar.)
