Doesn't Scripture have something to say about that?

I can counter with verses that support capitalism and free enterprise.
Most wealth is obtained by honest means.

I don't use money to do the Lord's bidding. I use entirely His supernatural provisions. It can do a lot more than the all the world's money can.
If it's nothing to fuss over, why is it sin to steal and to vandalize?Material wealth is virtually worthless according to the Bible.
So why should Christians make a big deal out of it??
Don't believe me??
Verses for you:
It is NOT of the Father - 1 John 2:15-17
The wealth of this world is unrighteous - Luke 16:9
Things that concern the flesh is worth nothing - John 6:63
Why fuss over something only as valuable as garbage unless you love garbage (or money)?
NOTE to everyone: I'm not promoting nor condoning deliberate destruction or theft of property. But to remind everyone maybe we're making too much of a deal over nothing - as a Christian should.
You've got a good thing going with God. He depends on me to help others by sharing the wealth He has blessed me with.
Wealth that is originally obtained by unrighteous means in the ages past.
Is it okay to buy stolen goods?
Hard and honest work doesn't put your name in money. Render to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. I'm not asking you to give up all your money but know that it isn't yours, makes no difference if you got it through honest work.

Much of the dollars circulating today were printed to fight WW2. Prior to that the crash of 1929 and the Great Depression purged most of the "filthy lucre" out of the economy. Since then $trillions in "new" money have been introduced into the economy, also free from the stains of the past.
The total lack of respect for the rule of law
being shown should worry all of us.

The real wealth is the land, gold, connections / intelligence / information, power, occupied people, technology, buildings/houses.
Still very there.

Slave labor, in the US and Canada is illegal..You mean like China stealing the U.S. technology,
then use there slave labors to make knock-offs,
then sell those good to Americans dirt cheep.
I believe slave labor today in US not legal.
Yes, there was a period of time where slaves were used.. It's been many years since that and the country was not totally built on the backs of slaves.Laws that were made by people who built a nation on the back of slaves and stolen lands.
Know your history. Time does not erase the cries of the innocents who died at the hands of greed.
Who really is the bigger thief? The Lord also accounts for the sins of our ancestors unless a restitution is paid (repentance).
