[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 73979129, member: 326155"] The concept of private property is not, in itself, what "capitalism" means. Even a Communist system can permit private property. Don't confuse "free enterprise" with "capitalism," because capitalism itself will tend to destroy free enterprise. The closest scripture comes to suggesting capitalism is this: [COLOR=#b30000]But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that [B]I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed[/B]? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest.[/COLOR] -- Matthew 25 That's a fairly good description of simple capitalism. And it should be noted that the person speaking is not being credited as morally virtuous. [/QUOTE]
