Why this unusual name for our blog?
There is an interesting story in the Bible about Jesus and his disciple, Peter. The tax collectors were going around collecting the temple tax, and one of them asked Peter whether Jesus paid tax. Peter said yes, and went to find Jesus. When they met, Jesus gave him a short lecture on the tax system. The upshot was that both of them were exempt from paying tax. However, so as not to offend the tax collectors, Jesus decided that they would pay, anyway. He asked Peter (a fisherman by vocation) to go fishing, and that the first fish he caught would have a coin in its mouth. This turned out to be enough to pay both their taxes.
So there we have it. Fish can pay afford to pay tax. We humans are already taxed to the hilt, while the Government's greed just grows. We want the Government to leave us alone, and turn to our piscine friends instead. God knows they can afford to pay.
