Is PROJECT 2025 really a Christian policy?

PROJECT 2025

Some people claiming to be Conservative Christians have drawn up a rather startling proposal for major changes in the US, should such people win through to a strong government. It's called PROJECT 2025. I can show their introduction on their website but not much more; but folks have published more details on Wiki. Here we go............................:-

PROJECT 2025
It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on Day One of the next conservative Administration.

Project 2025 envisions widespread changes across the government, particularly economic and social policies and the role of the federal government and its agencies. The plan proposes slashing funding for the Department of Justice (DOJ), dismantling the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS), sharply reducing environmental and climate change regulations to favor fossil fuel production, eliminating the Department of Commerce, and ending the independence of federal agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC).[8][9] The blueprint seeks to institute tax cuts,[10] though its writers disagree on the wisdom of protectionism.[11] Project 2025 recommends abolishing the Department of Education, whose programs would be either transferred to other agencies, or terminated.[12][13] Funding for climate research would be cut while the National Institutes of Health (NIH) would be reformed along conservative principles.[14][15] The Project urges government to explicitly reject abortion as health care[16][17] and eliminate the Affordable Care Act's coverage of emergency contraception.[18] The Project seeks to infuse the government with elements of Christianity.[19][20] It proposes criminalizing pornography,[21] removing legal protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity,[21][22] and terminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs,[4][22] as well as affirmative action.[23]
Project contributor Jeffrey Clark advises the future president to immediately deploy the military for domestic law enforcement and direct the DOJ to pursue Donald Trump's adversaries by invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807.[24][25] The Project recommends the arrest, detention, and deportation of undocumented immigrants.[26] It promotes capital punishment and the speedy "finality" of such sentences.[27] Project director Paul Dans, explained that Project 2025 is "systematically preparing to march into office and bring a new army, aligned, trained, and essentially weaponized conservatives ready to do battle against the deep state."[28][29] Dans admitted it was "counterintuitive" to recruit so many to join the government to shrink it, but pointed out the need for a future president to "regain control" of the government.[4] Although the project cannot by law promote a specific presidential candidate, many contributors have close ties to Trump and his 2024 campaign.[6][30]

JFK and other leaders have proven that excessive taxation hurts people and the economy more than any help that may be derived from the bad policies.

Taxing the rich does not hurt the economy. Look at the 1950's, when the wealthiest paid 90+% in taxes and the US had the world's highest standard of living.

God does not favor robbing workers of their earnings to give to the undeserving non-workers.

The earning workers are on the end with the pick and the shovel, not the end with the golf course and the boardroom.

We should be careful here to draw a distinction between the marginal and effective tax rates in the 1950s.

The top federal income tax rate is what I was getting at. Even so, can you imagine trying to get the Congress we have now to pass even a 42% rate on the top moneymakers? Think what could be done with it.

How much can 'the rich' be robbed before they shut down their businesses, stop working, and live on their tax-free accumulated earnings alone?

Is that what this is all about? Lefties envy the rich and do not want them making money regardless of the fact that the rich making money has nothing to do with the poor lacking money?

If that's all it is, why are red states always complaining about rich coastal elites?

[oldbadger]

I think eliminating the Dept. of Education should be at the top of the list because it consumes so much money for a service already provided by individual states.

I think that Athetotheist might have out you right there?

OK, so what federal/nationwide services do you think are essential?

The US military, for one, is essential.

Kind of...onward Christian soldiers, eh?

I don't know what a red state is and have never heard a state of any color say anything at all. Is a red state a state in which democrats cannot speak for themselves?

I was explaining what a red state is, since you said you didn't know. A red state means a red majority.
