So your against tax cuts, the cutting of federal job hindering regulations, creating jobs, creating the incentive for people to go to work, better healthcare, more competition in medicine, etc. I do not see greed. You see greed because of the small percent of the rich class.

Statistically even the low class is more wealthier than most around the world.



True in less they are a bad servant then they should be fired. Matthew 25:26-30
If they are lazy they shall not eat 2 Thessalonians 3:10. And let us examine that passage you are referring.


Matthew 20:9-15
New International Version


9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’

13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

Verse 13 says it isn't unfair when you agree to work for that wage.

Verse 15 talks about the owner earned the money, it is his money, and he can do as he wishes with it generous or not. The workers agreed in the morning to work all day for the same wage while the workers in the evening agreed to work for the same wage.

If they didn't agree then they had the freedom to go to another landowner and seek better pay or better conditions.

But this only lives under a free market and capital driven economy based on supply and demand. If workers demand better pay and leave or boycott a company then that company has a choice to raise wages, fire employees, cut out company incentives like free gym mnerships, etc.



Funny same old socialist speech.



Despite having no data. Let us say this is true. Every economic system ran by humans will have flaws and imperfections. No system is perfect until Christ rules on Earth.

What makes a system better than others is it's foundation in morality.

A corrupt government that was built out of immoral politicians voted in will want more government control as what we see in any socialist or communist country. Where the citizens are equal but equally poor.

Immorality will be in any system but in a free market under capitalism with limited government (only for securing a free market, promoting competition, and judicially preventing crime) we see a checks and balances in immoral dealings of companies towards their workers. One company like Hobby Lobby may raise their starting pay to 18 dollars an hour while Michaels arts and crafts store pays 13 dollars an hour. Is it connected to Hobby Lobby's strong Christian foundation? Maybe.

The point is as a worker in a free market of competition guess which store will attract more employees. It could even put Michaels out of business.

But it also was Hobby Lobby doing well and choosing to raise their starting wage versus having the government promote a disastrous living wage that businesses may not be able to afford without firing employees, cutting back, or simply going out of business.



True. But being a wise steward with your money is.



Agree.



Funny. Deception and ridiculous.

Let us all remember the economy and way of life under Trump's policies versus now under Biden.
“We have a long track record of taking care of our employees,” said Hobby Lobby founder and CEO, David Green. “In 1998, we made the decision to close our stores on Sundays, and at 8:00 p.m. the rest of the week, to provide employees time for rest, family and worship. We’ve also worked hard over the years to provide the best pay and benefits in retail.”

Any trust in politics can be dangerous if identity is set on it.
It is not a matter of trusting in politics but ensuring that there is good governance by whoever is elected. Right now we have pure Satanic evil operating through the Communist/Democratic party. On the other hand the stated principles of the Republican party are still sound, but the majority of RINOs have abandoned their principles. Which means that there is really no one who is defending the Constitution and the rule of law.

"... Our country needs a savior right now, and our country has a Savior. And that's not me – that's somebody much higher up than me, much higher up. … The life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ forever changed the world. It's impossible to think of the life of our own country without the influence of His example, and of His teachings.”
