He's right.
IMO the three great sins of America are:
  1. Abortion — Obviously the state-sanctioned murder of more than 50 million babies is a great sin.
  2. Withholdings — This practice either forces the employer to commit fraud (not paying the promised wages) or a theft on behalf of the government.
    (James 5:4 — Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.)
  3. The perversion of the Judicial system — There's an obvious reason that brought to justice is a phrase that epitomizes a correctly functioning Judicial system.
    (Isaiah 5:20 — Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!)

Years ago, I heard a Catholic friend refer to "Sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance".

I just flashed back to that. Apparently, there are four of them:

Homicide
Sodomy
Oppression of Widows and Orphans
Cheating Laborers of Their Due

Hmmmm ....
