Nope just Thou Shalt Not Steal
The bible is definitely pro-taxation. We all know that tax steals from the poor and gives to the rich. The rich have all those loopholes.

Um.. No, actually it says that "only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven, that it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Matthew 19:23-24 So, if you ask me, for them to live in riches here in this world is as good at it will get for them. So, why steal from the poorest people in the world?

No, the bible is not Communist. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. The Bible says, "Thou shalt not steal." It also tells people to GIVE to the poor. You should give what you can to help the needy, and try to convince the rich to do so, but you shouldn't steal.

No No No, and No.
One of the 10 commandments is to not steal.
However, Jesus did say to take care of the poor.
But not to steal!

Mt 22:17 - Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
... or is that steal from the poor and give to the rich?
Whatever.

No for there is one not to steal, however the wealthy (everyone by their means) are obligated to assist the poor. Even farmers are instructed not to pick from the corners of there farm because that is for the poor.

No, not at all. However, Jesus does say, in the New Testament, "Trade your money for friends." His implication is that money is temporary, but friends are eternal in their value. But nowhere does it say anything about taking someone elses "stuff" and giving it to anyone else. It does often speak of giving your own stuff away, especially to the poor.

It does NOT say to steal from the rich, but it does say we are to care for widow and orphans. Jesus said, "If you have two cloaks and your brother has none, give him one of yours." The Bible is full of verses which tell us we are to care for each other. A Blessed Christmas to you.

No
That's a man made invention called Welfare, used to reward the devoted followers of Oprah, Dr. Phil, illegal aliens and atheists who don't believe in abortions.
It's also an invention of Atheist Karl Marx, called communism.
