[QUOTE="BondiHarry, post: 57866641, member: 281154"] If socialism were an option people could opt out of it would fail rather quickly, it requires the coercive power of government to keep people in it (the productive that is, those who seek gain on their neighbor's dime love it) That is not capitalism. What you describe is a mixed economy where the monied elite use government to prevent would be competitors from entering the market. Capitalism is based on free markets, NOT government manipulation. The gospel teaches holiness. The good man does not covet, steal from or do any other form of evil to his neighbor, will support his life by his own effort, will be content with such things as he has, will look to God and not man for the things he needs, will have compassion for and help those in need. Those who believe that forcibly seizing the bread of another man's labor or making of government something far beyond what God taught may honestly disagree but that comes from not understanding the word of God. Thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not covet, put not your trust in princes and seek first the kingdom of God and His holiness and the things that we need will be added to us cannot be clearer.
