The parable of the workers in the vineyard, besides being an illustration of heaven, also serves as a defense if freedom of contract. Jesus does not attack the wealthy landowner, he defends the contract that he and the workers agreed to.

It also says to not store treasures on earth, that its easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven and also celebrates the widows offering and turns over the tables of the money-lenders in the temple, where they were furthering their business interests in a place of God, all showing up the hypocrisy of greed, one which applies to Capitalists.

It's not gross greed to be successful. I don't like Facebook but do you really think Mark Zuckerberg is motivated by gross greed?

Except that perspective oversimplifies the history of a company like Facebook.

He came up with a platform everyone wanted to use for many years, he earned every penny he has.

Facebook was largely an accident, but also seemingly an inevitability. Overcrediting Zuckerberg with being some kind of business genius is more rooted in capitalist mythology than fact.

Our rights come from scripture not the state

No. At least, I hope not.

That's the fundamental problem with socialism, it looks to the state as our provider rather than God.

Go to any child cancer ward and that discredits the notion that you are asserting.

I would rather trust a bureaucracy over a theocracy any day of the week.

I never said Zuckerberg was a genius. I said he created a product that everyone wanted to use and made a lot of money doing so. It doesn't make him a genius, it only means he had a sense of what the market was looking for and gave it to them.

Our rights are not bestowed on us by the state, they are of God. Even the founders argued for the Bill of Rights on that basis.

A major target of the leftist political class is obviously Christians and conservatives groups. Just create a new gender apparently.

US Supreme Court just accidentally created a new way to end all Big Tech censorship against conservatives and Christians: GENDER IDENTITY – Investment Watch
I can't take this hack journalism serious. Here is the first paragraph in its entirety:

"It’s a bombshell realization: In a stunning decision that places “gender identity” under the protection of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the U.S. Supreme Court just accidentally provided a way for all conservatives, Christians, libertarians and other oppressed groups to defeat Big Tech’s malicious censorship."

Apparently conservatives, Christians, libertarians are oppressed groups. What dimension is this writer living in?
