vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to
teach:
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but
patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in
subjection with all gravity;
(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he
take care of the church of God?)

Weigh not the thin ore where their visage shines,
But) of find unclipt gold, where dully rests
Some likeness, which the glittering cirque confines,
Of modern, reigning, sterling, stupid stamp;--
Yes! ready money is Aladdin's lamp.

It's not so much the amount of tax we pay - it's the sense that our pocket's being picked without our knowing what's going on.
