Bono berates us all for the poverty of Africa.
Yet he doesn't pay his taxes, quoting the Gospel of Saint Matthew:- “Let not the left hand know what the right hand does.”
Someone should tell Bono the full quote:-
"But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth".
This teaching does not provide cover to those wishing to avoid their tax liability. It instructs them to keep quiet about what they give to the poor. It specifically tells the like of Bono to shut their big mouths.
Bono would do better to give to Caesar (the state) what is his, all that filthy lucre.
And when it comes to morality, a humble and broken heart is what God requires.
