Strange Bedfellows

Yes, the folks who love the flat tax with a zeal approaching fundamentalist religion ought to love the low-tax message of Osama bin Laden.
"To conclude," bin Laden says [in a recently released video], "I invite you to embrace Islam." He goes on to say: "There are no taxes in Islam, but rather there is a limited Zakaat [alms] totaling 2.5 percent."
Indeed, stressing both tithing and lowering taxes sounds like something straight out of, say, the Texas Republican Party platform.
