Be that as it may, capitalism involves the free use of money by non-governmental agents regardless of their political status. A Chinese businessman can have as much freedom of action as any of the moguls in Silicon Valley, provided that those in political power allow them to have this. There is, btw, not much of a “free “market in the valley these days, since the big four have pretty much got the government on their side.
This is a silly comment, even by your standards. It's like the nun I had for religion junior year of high school who told me with a straight face that "William Tyndale wasn't murdered because he translated the Bible into English. He was murdered because he translated the Bible into English without authorization."
Just so.
The idea that a businessman has freedom of action provided "he's allowed to have it" would be a hilarious oxymoron if it didn't reveal such unreasoning cluelessness.
Freedom you are "allowed to have" isn't freedom. It's slavery.
The Constitution doesn't grant us freedom, it recognizes it. And murdering a man for exercising his God-given freedom of conscience isn't religious "authority." It's just murder.
