And I could quote you quite a few scriptures about pride, presumption, a haughty heart, charity in the Christian sense (and that doesn't mean giving a quarter to a panhandler) and being thy brother's keeper. Frankly, I see nothing in the least covetous about working people not wanting free traders pulling the rug out from under them by glutting their labor market.
When household debt levels reach the level they have and savings rated drop to nothing it cannot be attributed to smug lectures about the innate spendthriftiness of the lower orders. It is net downwards socio economic mobility.
Listenhillary, you are what I like to call the Liberty League Republican. The Liberty League were a GOP pressure group formed to fight against FDR and the New Deal. It came off as a swell on a polo pony lecturing a guy on a breadline about bootstrap rugged individualism. It backfired badly.
FDR did more damage to this country than any other president in our nations history. He terrorized business, prolonging the depression and harming those he was trying to help. He was stubborn socialist that refused to see his plan wasn't working. In 1938 I believe, steel production dropped from 80% of capacity to 20% of capacity all due to his inept handling of the economy. The newspapers of the day started referring to him as a dictator because of his far reaching grabs for power.
You are what I like to call a blind fool who enthusiastically cheers those who have traded security for our freedoms.
A fool who believes government dependency is a compassionate gesture instead of slavery.
Being your brothers keeper doesn't mean taking wealth at the point of a gun with government force. It means practicing individual responsibility and individual charity. Not institutionalized, faceless funds appearing on your government debit card each month.
