    I'm glad you are FINALLY leaving Jesus out of this discussion. You have no business pointing your "bloody finger" at anyone.

    And if you factor in lottery tickets, tattoos, marijuana and meth, the government has a lot to make up for!

    what do we expect after liberal unions, taxes, regulations, and trade deals drove 20 million jobs offshore, and after liberals invited in 30 million illegals to drive down wages still further. Thank God for Donald!!

    hey, socialism killed 120 million last century; as liberals move us closer to it life will obviously get harder and harder. Make sense now?

    So, no one should ever say anything that you disagree with? ha ha You need to find a forum where there is only one member...yourself.

    You sure like assuming the worst. I bet they all drive new cadillacs too! And live better than you! That is the general disconnected from reality assumption.

    What drove it offshore was a new economic philosophy. Fu*k america, just max out your profits with slave labor and ship those goods back here, tariff free. I was in business when all of this started coming down, and saw it happen from the inside. You are just parroting right wing ideological talking points that someone told you. Polly want a cracker?

    You must be a lousy business operator. My own family had a rather successful business that manufactured for countries around the world. Midwestern based and employed 300 they were in business from the late 50's until the mid- 80's. Saw the America sell-out coming and sold out. The business lasted another 5 years after that.

    I disagree; I think he was the first Reform party member. He made changes to the existing political climate in Rome through his interaction with God and proved through love and behavior as dictated from God, that all could live in peace and harmony.

    absurd of course. that is not new. Corporations always had to max out profits against competition or go bankrupt. Did you know that?

    so early Christians sold all their property and at some point the church changed its mind and said we could own property???

    Hey....I don't know what is going on here but I did not make the "little boy potty mouth" post you responded to. It was the literary genious "One mind" that made that post. Would you please edit James?

    That one act took place in Acts and was for that time and place and they did it out of the conviction of their hearts. Not a church or government. It is pretty sophmoric to paint that one act as a rule for the Church.

    And. it does not matter much anyway. Then, wealth mostly came
    by using liberal govt to acquire it through conquering enslaving taxing and exploiting others. So it was really stolen property that should have been distributed. Today, we have Republican capitalism wherein you get rich by distributing wealth to others like cancer cures or Iphones, not by stealing it through liberal statist govt.

    No, it's not impossible to make that kind of money as a welder if you have been at it for a while, but you have to be a welder to get it and have a skill someone is willing to pay that kind of money for. You can't get it with a degree in women's studies.

    Bernie Sanders is an open socialist and about half of Democrats support him so actually you should think twice about that.
