Matthew 19:21 "Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, sell what you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then follow me!""
oh, i'm sorry, you meant Supply Side Jesus!
that question deserves it's own topic, though reducing it to "capitalism vs...
there has never been a truly "free market" in the history of the planet, the main reason why being that such a beast can't effectively compete with mercantilist / protectionist systems a la 2010 China. you think government involvement in the economy is bad? how about monopolistic corporations...
yeah that's "Sorcha Faal" aka the Queen of Internet Hoaxes. you gotta really be careful about that kind of insanity -- what ever happened to the days when people assumed everything on the Net was BS until it was actually proven from reliable sources?
